The Biden administration has said its top officials highlighted their commitment to a two-state solution during a series of meetings they held this week in Washington with a senior Palestinian official visiting from Ramallah.
Palestinian Authority Civilian Affairs Minister and PLO Executive Committee Secretary-General Hussein al-Sheikh met on Monday and Tuesday with a number of senior US officials, including White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan and Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman.
A readout from Sullivan’s office said he and al-Sheikh “discussed US interest in supporting peace and stability, preserving the path towards negotiations for two states, and advancing equal measures of security, prosperity and freedom for Israelis and Palestinians alike.”
That line has been included in almost every statement relating to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict issued by the Biden administration over the past 20 months.
