TRANSCRIPT: QUESTION: First on Secretary Blinken’s conversation yesterday, phone call with his counterpart, the Israeli Ashkenazi. And he emphasized that the Biden administration adheres to the two-state solution. Could you tell us where does this administration envision this two-state solution to be? And is East Jerusalem part of it? MR PRICE: Well, I would say that the Secretary was pleased to speak with his Israeli counterpart. They’ve had multiple conversations at this point. We’ve said before the United States remains unwavering in our commitment to Israel’s security and we’ll work to strengthen all aspects of the Israeli bilateral, bilateral relationship. When it comes to the two-state solution, the Biden administration believes that the two-state solution is the best way to ensure Israel’s identity as a Jewish and democratic state while living in peace alongside a viable and democratic Palestinian state. That is precisely why the two-state solution continues to be the crux of how we view the conflict and where we believe – and how we believe the conflict should be resolved. Now, of course, I don’t think anyone is saying that a negotiated two-state solution is in the offing in the coming hours or days. We are realistic. But at the same time, we believe it provides a durable framework for the end state that we’ve talked about. QUESTION: So much has changed.

I mean, is it really worthwhile to speak with him about not taking unilateral actions?

We can pursue and accomplish multiple things at once. We have interests and we have values. Those things need not be inconsistent, and in fact, our interests are our values and vice versa. So when it comes to the two-state solution, our values are at play on both sides, frankly. We believe Israel should continue to be a Jewish and democratic state. At the same time, we believe that the Palestinians deserve their legitimate aspirations for statehood and independence. So we bring our values with us in every relationship across the board. We talked about it in Egypt, we’ve talked about it in other countries in this room, and it’s certainly true when it comes to Israel as well. QUESTION: Right. Just – if you indulge me just a little bit – but this prime minister has had a tradition during every elections, almost every year, where he would take unilateral action to satisfy ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DU8ZuoE1lc
