Kirby: Biden Still Believes in Two-State Solution in the Middle East

White House National Security Advisor John Kirby stated today, Friday, that President Joe Biden "still believes in the promise and possibility of a two-state solution in the Middle East." Kirby added to reporters during a White House press briefing that Biden welcomed Israel's decision to allow a shipment of flour into the Gaza Strip. On another note, John Kirby said that the United States still opposes a general ceasefire in Gaza "because it believes it would benefit Hamas." Kirby further stated: "We support humanitarian pauses, as I mentioned, to try to rescue hostages and bring in more aid, but we do not support a ceasefire at this time." He continued, "I think it's important to remember that a ceasefire was in effect on October 6."
