Biden and Schulz discuss ways to achieve a two-state solution. They stressed the need to protect civilians in the Gaza Strip and increase life-saving humanitarian aid.

The German Chancellor called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last week to remove obstacles to aid reaching Gaza. Schulz assured Biden that achieving peace in the region can only be achieved through a two state solution. It is noteworthy that Tel Aviv's ambassador to Berlin, Ron Prosor, described Germany last December as Israel's best ally in Europe.
