Biden said, "As the United States, we will work tirelessly to secure an immediate and sustained ceasefire for at least six weeks as part of a hostage release deal." Biden also noted that a two-state solution is needed for a lasting resolution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
US President Biden also assessed, "There is absolutely no place for Islamophobia in the United States; this country was founded on freedom of belief and built on the contributions of all immigrants, including Muslim immigrants."
