Biden Wants A Two-State Solution But Notes It Is Not Possible Now.

With thousands dead in Israel and Gaza in the aftermath of Hamas' deadly attack, President Biden believes there's still a path toward a two-state solution. 

He said Hamas, the terrorist organization behind the Oct. 7 attack in Israel, needs to be eliminated, but that there needs to be a Palestinian state. Given last weekend's terrorist attacks, President Biden says a two-state solution is not possible right now.
