Netanyahu tells Biden he has not ruled out possibility of a Palestinian state

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told US President Joe Biden in a telephone conversation Friday that public comments he made on Thursday, in which he appeared to reject the idea of creating a Palestinian state, were not meant to foreclose the possibility of a Palestinian state in any form, a person familiar with the issue told CNN. It comes a day after after Netanyahu appeared to reject the idea of creating a Palestinian state, a comment that would put him at odds with Biden’s position.
