The White House has responded for the first time to the recent announcements from Ireland, Spain, and Norway regarding their plans to formally recognize a Palestinian state. The White House emphasized the need for such recognition to be achieved through negotiations rather than unilateral actions. A statement from the National Security Council spokesperson reiterated President's support for a two-state solution and emphasized the importance of direct negotiations between the parties involved.
President has consistently advocated for a two-state solution, as highlighted in his recent commencement address at Morehouse College. He acknowledged the complexity of the situation, expressing his commitment to working towards a peaceful resolution that ensures security and dignity for both peoples.
