As the Israel-Hamas war enters a new phase, President Joe Biden is pressing Israeli and Arab leaders to think hard about their eventual postwar reality.
WorldFILE - President Joe Biden talks to reporters aboard Air Force One during a refueling stop in at Ramstein Air Base in Germany Wednesday, Oct. 18, 2023, as he travels back from Israel to Washington. “There’s no going back to the status quo as it stood on Oct. 6,” Biden told reporters, referring to the day before Hamas militants attacked Israel and set off the latest war. The White House says Biden conveyed the same message directly to Netanyahu during a telephone call this past week.
Even his national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, in a lengthy essay that was written shortly before the Oct. 7 attack and described Biden's global foreign policy efforts made no mention of Palestinian statehood. In anposted online, Sullivan wrote that the administration was “committed to a two-state solution." White House official also say the normalization talks have always included significant proposals to benefit the Palestinians.
Still, Biden believes it is important for him and his team to convey “hope” and make clear that his administration backs a Palestinian state, the official said. Biden has expressed concern about deteriorating conditions for innocent civilians in Gaza. But his insistence that he will not dictate how Israeli forces carry out their operations could complicate his ability to maintain credibility as an evenhanded broker. U.S. Muslim leaders, at a private White House meeting with Biden and top aides this past week, urged the president to call for a cease-fire.
