“I say this as a lifelong supporter of Israel and the only American president to visit Israel in wartime,” he said.
“There is no other path that guarantees Israel’s security and democracy. There is no other path that guarantees Palestinians can live with peace and dignity. There is no other path that guarantees peace between Israel and all of its Arab neighbors, including Saudi Arabia,” Biden said.
