I will not compromise on full Israeli security control over the entire area in the west of Jordan and this is contrary to a Palestinian state, Netanyahu posted on X late on Saturday night, doubling down his opposition to a Palestinian state a day after speaking to the US president.
Asked if a two-state solution was impossible while Netanyahu was in office, Biden said, No, it's not. But in a statement, the Israeli prime minister's office said Netanyahu told Biden that after Hamas is destroyed Israel must retain security control over Gaza to ensure that Gaza will no longer pose a threat to Israel, a requirement that contradicts the demand for Palestinian sovereignty.
