POTATUS Still Pushing for Palestinian State Despite Bibi's 'No Way, Jose'

What we know

• President Joe Biden attempted to downplay Benjamin Netanyahu’s opposition to a Palestinian state. When asked if a two-state solution is impossible with Netanyahu in office, Biden said, “No, it is not,” adding that he believes the Israeli prime minister could change his mind.

• A statement from Netanyahu’s office to NBC News today contradicted Biden’s position that a two-state solution is possible. “Israel must retain security control over Gaza to ensure that Gaza will no longer pose a threat to Israel, a requirement that contradicts the demand for Palestinian sovereignty,” the prime minister’s office said.
