The statement of support came during a press conference on Friday night, in connection with the state visit to South Korean Prime Minister Moon Jae-in.
Here, Biden was asked if the Democrats have changed their attitude to Israel, after it became known that the party’s liberals flew wants to prevent a arms deal between the United States and Israel worth $ 735 million.
– There is no change in my commitment to Israel’s security. Dot. No change, at all, Biden replied.
The president was clear on what he believes is the way out of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East:

– We still need a two-state solution. That is the only solution. My parity still supports Israel, the Democrat said.
Nevertheless, Biden revealed that he had given Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a clear message:
– It is very important that they stop the internal violence in Jerusalem, which has extreme extremes on both sides. It has to stop.
Biden further said that he, together with other nations, wants to create a crisis package to rebuild the many destroyed homes in Gaza, but without giving Hamas the opportunity to rebuild its weapons stockpile.
– They need help, and I am determined to get it done, Biden concluded.
