On Sunday President Biden marked the beginning of Ramadan, “as the new crescent moon marks the beginning of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan — Jill and I extend our best wishes and prayers to Muslims our country and around the world.”
Biden mentioned that his administration is working “non-stop” for an immediate and sustained ceasefire for at least six weeks. “We will continue building toward a long-term future of stability, security, and peace,” said Biden in a statement from the White House. “That includes a two-state solution to ensure Palestinians and Israelis share equal measures of freedom, dignity, security, and prosperity. That is the only path toward an enduring peace.”
