Biden visited Abbas in Bethlehem on Friday, where he affirmed he is still working toward a two-state solution and lasting peace between Israel and Palestinian authority.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Now?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Now<\/a>: President Biden meets President Abbas in Bethlehem \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\ud83c\uddf5\ud83c\uddf8 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/kZ34UEZj6u\">pic.twitter.com\/kZ34UEZj6u<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Noga Tarnopolsky (@NTarnopolsky) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NTarnopolsky\/status\/1547867607146958848?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 15, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Biden said the violence between both sides has devastated too many families and added that it is \u201cheartbreaking\u201d that so many Palestinians and Israelis have died this year. He acknowledged that a two-state solution will not be a reality anytime soon, but pledged to not give up on pursuing it.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cThere must be a political horizon the Palestinian people can actually see or at least feel,\u201d Biden said. \u201cWe cannot allow the hopelessness to steal away the future that so many have worked toward for so long. So even if the ground is not ripe at this moment to restart negotiations, the United States and my administration will not give up on trying to bring the Palestinians and Israelis and both sides closer together.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This comes as the Biden administration announced Thursday that it is providing $316 million in additional aid to the Palestinian authority, including around $200 million for the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees.<\/p>\n<p>The administration also proposed a multi-year contribution of $100 million for the East Jerusalem Hospitals Network, which provides medical care ranging from oncological care to emergency services for 50,000 local patients, though the funding would require authorization from Congress.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Israelis are in the midst of more political chaos after the government\u2019s collapse last month. The country is headed for its fifth election in under four years and the polls show yet another toss-up. That opens the possibility for a return to power for Benjamin Netanyahu, an antagonist to a peace deal that isn\u2019t lopsided in Israel\u2019s favor.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/ariz-riddled-with-culture-of-incompetence\/\">Ariz.
