Iranian Armed Forces Spokesman, Brigadier General Abul-Fadl Shakarchi: “The use of the term force against #Iran by the US President and the Prime Minister of the Zionist entity is a psychological war for which the enemy will pay.”

Biden stresses commitment to two-state solution in meeting with Palestinian President Abbas

President Biden stressed his continued commitment to the two-state solution in a Friday meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank.

The Palestinian people deserve a state of their own with an “equal measure of freedom and dignity” as Israel, he said.

He said while the goal of a two-state solution may seem “far away” and Americans can feel the “grief and frustration” of Palestinians, the U.S. will “never give up on the work of peace.”

The U.S. “won’t give up on trying to bring Israel and Palestine closer together,” he added.

He said there “must be an end to the violence” that has devastated “too many families.”
