President Joe Biden on Friday pledged to help organise efforts to rebuild Gaza and said creating a Palestinian state alongside Israel is the ‘only answer’ to the conflict.

Biden also said he had told the Israelis to stop ‘intercommunal fighting’ in the flashpoint city of Jerusale never he stressed ‘there is no shift in my commitment, commitment to the security of Israel’ and added that until the region ‘unequivocally’ acknowledges Israel’s existence ‘there will be no peace.’

The idea of a two-state solution — with a sovereign Palestinian state alongside Israel and Jerusalem as their shared capital — has been the cornerstone of decades of international diplomacy aimed at ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

US policy under Donald Trump was criticized as being blatantly pro-Israel and ignoring the Palestinians.

A Mideast peace plan devised by Trump’s adviser and son in law Jared Kushner was billed as providing for a two-state solution. But that blueprint envisioned a Palestinian state with only limited sovereignty and Israel maintaining security over that state.

The plan was rejected out of hand by Palestinian leaders.

Biden on Friday insisted on a full-blown two state remedy.

‘There is no shift in my commitment to the security of Israel, period, no shift, not at all,’ he said.
‘But I tell you what there is a shift in. The shift is that we still need a two-state solution. It is the only answer, the only answer,’ Biden stated.

Cafes reopened, fishermen set out to sea and shopkeepers dusted off shelves Saturday as Gazans slowly resumed their daily lives after a deadly 11-day conflict between Hamas and Israel.

Aid trickled into the Gaza Strip, the blockaded enclave controlled by the Islamist group Hamas, as the focus turned to rebuilding the devastated territory a day after a ceasefire took hold.

The Egypt-brokered truce halted Israeli air strikes on the crowded Palestinian territory and rockets fired by Palestinian armed groups at Israel since May 10. Rescue workers searched for bodies or survivors in mounds of rubble after what Gazans referred to in the street as the latest ‘war’ or ‘escalation’ with the Jewish state.

In Gaza City’s port, Rami Abu Amira and a dozen other fisherman prepared their nets before heading out to sea for the first time in two weeks. ‘We need to eat,’ he said after the Gaza coastguard allowed fishing again, though adding he would stick close to the coastline to stay safe. ‘We, fishermen, are scared the Israeli navy will shoot at us. It’s up to everyone to decide whether to go or not.’

The latest round of bombardment killed 248 people in Gaza, including 66 children, and wounded more than 1,900 since May 10, the Hamas-run health ministry says.

The United Nations says more than half of those killed, the overwhelming majority in Israeli air strikes, were civilians.

Israel says it has killed ‘more than 200 terrorists’, including 25 commanders.

During the same period, rockets fired by Palestinian armed groups killed 12 people in Israel including one child, a teenager, an Israeli soldier, one Indian and two Thai nationals, the police say. Some 357 people in Israel were injured.

On Friday evening in Gaza, Palestinian families had rushed to seaside cafes to breathe fresh air or smoke shisha.

In a clothes store near the ruins of a ravaged tower block in the upscale neighbourhood of Rimal in Gaza City, mannequins still wore the latest 2021 trends, but they were now caked in dust.
Bilal Mansur, 29, said all his merchandise had been ruined.

‘There’s dust everywhere, dust from the Israeli bombs clinging to the clothes. We won’t be able to sell them,’ he said.

Nearby store-owner Wael Amin al-Sharafa said he had stocked up his shop with new clothes to sell during the usually busy season of Eid al-Fitr at the end of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.
‘But now it’s all lost,’ he said. ‘Who will pay for all this? I have no idea.’

No, he doesn't nor he has the authority to do so.

yeh , the Palestinian state without people and houses it seems. They are just buying time, before the next US president comes to power the Israelis will be bombing again under some pretext.

 

[obj 705A]

Two state solution is impossible and the US and Israel don't support it, already many Jewish settlements are in the west bank.
Israel will continue on it's quest of ethnic cleansing by kicking the Arabs out and replacing them with Jews till the Arabs are pushed out into tiny villages on the edges of the map so that they could get absorbed by neighboring countries. That is their plan.

The main reason why Mahmood Abas, the US, Israel and some of the Arab countries talk about two state solution is to use it as a drug, use it as opium for the Palestinian people to fool them into believing there is a chance (no matter how small it is) that Israel will give them back their land if the Palestinians stick to peacefull negotiations, to prevent the Palestinians in the west bank from starting an armed revolution (not with rocks but with guns).
The Israelis want the Palestinians to have a life that is as miserable as possible so that the idea of Palestine itself would die gradually which is why they do these bombings against Gaza from time to time, to destroy the civilian infrastructure and make life miserable there so that Gaza would give up.
The only solution is an armed revolution in the west bank, kick the invaders out then they will listen to you and will really negotiate with you, not like those fake negotiations of nowadays between Netanyahu and his agent Mahmood Abas.

Biden true face is exposed to Pakistanis and Muslims now. Biden is the hater of Muslims just check how much with deep hate he was ranting about Israeli right of attacks

No one cares what Biden thinks anymore!
Power decides itself and right now it's hamas and powers behind them?
They will decide what they want that's the decades old fear Israelis have and now this stupid netanyaho just to remain in power, used it for his political survival!
But now what?
Israel stands divided and afraid looking all of its borders where all. Of its enemies are smelling the blood?

Biden true face is exposed to Pakistanis and Muslims now. Biden is the hater of Muslims just check how much with deep hate he was ranting about Israeli right of attacks

Similar is his nonsense opinion on Kashmir.

Actually these politicians they mostly thinks for Thier local goals for outside USA They follow pentagon which makes plans like GREAT GAME!
Kashmir issue must be settled down asap so pak - India becomes friends and fight dirty American war with china all pentagon paid genrals are trying hard for that but now public support for them is no where? the latest Israeli action has put braked on their so called dirty move against china and now pentagon mafia is angry!
Which wanted everyone in the Muslim world must accept Israel then give some freedom to poor palestanians under ISRAELI boots but things went other way and now if they leave Israel alone. From sirya to Iran to Lebanon to west bank to Gaza to turkey to Pakistan to all other Muslim countries everyone knows their weaknesses and won't follow there dam plans!

Two state solution with Hamas and Nutunyahoo? Forget about it

Yes, these two groups are like water and oil, never to mix. But, the world needs to find out a lasting solution.

Kick out both Nutunyahoo and Hamas, this is the lasting solution

Yes, these two groups are like water and oil, never to mix. But, the world needs to find out a lasting solution.

Not like oil and water more like mad axe man in a room full of women and children.

 

[IceCold]

US is just trying to restore some of its tarnished image as an international mediator. Fact of the matter is the world has seen the dual face of Western hypocrisy mainly that of the US. If anything a country like US cannot be taken seriously for any sort of mediation because of its actions where it was arming Israel even during the conflict. Billions of dollars of tax payer money is been given to Israel.
With all of this who is going to take Biden seriously? Anyone who does will do so at their own peril.
