The Biden administration has strongly criticised the Israeli prime minister's rejection of the creation of a Palestinian state.

In defiance of US foreign policy, Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel needed security control over the entire territory west of the Jordan River for the foreseeable future. He accepted that this clashed with the principle of Palestinian sovereignty.
