[뉴욕=뉴스핌] Correspondent Kim Min-jung = U.S. President Joe Biden emphasized that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cannot ultimately reject the Palestinian state. At the same time, he argued that the hard-line government that opposes the two-state solution must be changed.

According to Reuters on the 12th (local time), President Biden said at a fundraising event for his 2024 re-election campaign, “Israel can’t say no” and “Netanyahu will not accept any changes in his government.” “His government is making this very difficult.”

In particular, President Biden mentioned Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gbir, who is famous for his far-right leanings, and pointed out that it is “the most conservative government in the history of Israel.”

President Biden said Israel was beginning to lose support from the international community as it continued its senseless attacks on the Gaza Strip. “There is an opportunity to start uniting the region, and they still want to do that,” he said. “We need to make sure that the Prime Minister (nicknamed) understands that some steps have to be taken to strengthen it,” he said.

“We cannot say ‘no’ to the state of Palestine,” he said, adding, “This will be the difficult part.”

The remarks came after Prime Minister Netanyahu expressed a different position from the United States regarding governance of the Gaza Strip after the war. Prime Minister Netanyahu, who has refused to allow the Palestinian Authority led by Mahmoud Abbas to rule the Gaza Strip, said, “The Gaza Strip will not be a Hamas camp or a Fatah camp.” Abbas leads the Fatah party.

Prime Minister Netanyahu said, “I will make my position clear. I will not repeat the mistakes of Oslo.” In other words, there will be no repeat of the 1993 Oslo Peace Agreement, which allowed limited Palestinian autonomy in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Meanwhile, White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan is scheduled to visit Israel soon. On this day, Aide Sullivan said, “The agenda of the meeting will be how they view the timetable for this war.”
