At a meeting of the UN Security Council, U.S. Chargé d'Affaires Mills announced that the Biden administration would work to restore relations with Palestine and appealed to the international community the difference from the former Trump administration, whose relations with Palestine had deteriorated. ..

On the 26th, the UN Security Council held a regular meeting to discuss the Palestinian issue, attended by Chargé d'Affaires Mills of the United States.



Deputy Ambassador Mills urges Israel and Palestine to avoid unilateral actions that make it difficult for the two nations to coexist, such as annexation of territories, settlement activities, demolition of buildings, and incitement to violence. He urged the Israeli side to stop the settlement activities on the west bank of the Jordan River.



Regarding Israeli settlement activities, the former Trump administration has stated that it will overturn the policies of successive administrations and will not consider it a violation of international law.



Chargé d'Affaires Mills also said, "The Biden administration will work to restore Palestinian leadership and relationships with people that have been damaged in the last four years. President Biden has made it clear that he will restore Palestinian economic development and humanitarian assistance. He also mentioned the idea that the former Trump administration would resume support for Palestinian refugees, which had been frozen, and impressed the international community with the difference from the former Trump administration, whose relations with Palestine had deteriorated.
