US President Joe Biden said an “all-out war” is possible in the Middle East but that it is still avoidable.
“All-out war is possible, but I think there’s also an opportunity — we’re still in the game to have a deal that could fundamentally change the entire region,” Biden said during an interview on ABC News’ “The View.”
Biden’s speech comes as tensions between Israel and Hezbollah rise and as US officials point out that negotiations for a ceasefire and the release of hostages in the Gaza Strip have stalled.
The US President reiterated the importance of the Two-State Solution to the Gaza conflict and stressed that the path is still open to ensure such an outcome.
“There is a way to do it, and they have a possibility — I don’t want to overstate this, but a possibility — if we can deal with a ceasefire in Lebanon, that he can move on to dealing with the West Bank, but we also have Gaza to deal with,” he said.
“But it is possible, and I am using all the energy I have with my team… to do this. There is a desire to see change in the region,” he concluded.
