Biden's call for 2-state solution as Israel plans ‘full force’ after Gaza truce
US President Joe Biden said he hoped the cease-fire would last as long as captives were released. Although he did not have definite news, Biden expressed hope that other Americans would be liberated by Hamas. The US president also argued for a "two-state solution," claiming that it is the best way to ensure both Israeli and Palestinian security in the long run.
In terms of Gaza's future, Biden stated, "A two-state solution is the only way to ensure the long-term security of both the Israeli and Palestinian people." To ensure that Israelis and Palestinians enjoy equal levels of freedom and dignity. We will not give up on achieving this goal."
"To keep this pause in fighting going beyond tomorrow is our goal - so that we can continue to see more hostages come out and surge more humanitarian relief to those in need," Vice President Joe Biden said. Biden has previously stated that there would be no return to the status quo prior to october 7, when Palestine's terrorist group Hamas launched a surprise attack in israel killing over 1,200 people, implying that after the crisis is over, there must be a plan for what happens next.

What is a two-state solution?
The two-state solution asks for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel. The united states has long backed it, and it has been the principal suggested framework for settling the Israeli-Palestinian problem. However, it has not become a reality due to failed peace talks, logistical issues, expanding Israeli settlements, Palestinian terrorism, and periodic conflicts. Over time, both Palestinians and Israelis have lost faith in the two-state solution.

The four-day cease-fire is the first in seven weeks since Hamas massacred 1,200 people and returned 240 captives to Gaza. As a result of that incident, israel has threatened to eliminate the Hamas terrorists who rule Gaza, shelling the territory and launching a land offensive in the north. According to Gaza health officials, 14,800 Palestinians have been murdered and hundreds of others have been displaced.
