Israeli president Shimon Peres stopped by the White House May 5 to meet with President Obama. Few details were released about their meeting or discussions on Middle East peace. However, on the same day Vice President Biden said “Israel has to work towards a two-state solution.”

Speaking before the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC,) Biden said the U.S. commitment to Israel’s peace and security is “not negotiable” and “not a matter of change” under the Obama administration. The “basic responsibility” of the United States is to ensure “that there will always, always be a place for Jews of the world to go … and that place always must be Israel.”
