The U.S. will rebuild ties with the Palestinian Authority’s leadership as the Biden administration pledges to go back to a more traditional posture favoring a two-state solution to Mideast peace, according to the top American envoy to the United Nations.
The Biden administration will renew “U.S. relations with the Palestinian leadership and the Palestinian people, relations which have atrophied over the last four years,” Richard Mills, the mission’s acting head, said Tuesday during a UN Security Council debate on the Middle East.
