The creation of a state for the Palestinians is not impossible under Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“No, it's not,” Biden responded when asked if a two-state solution with Netanyahu was impossible.
The president then explained that the Prime Minister of Israel is not against all two-state solutions and there are different types: "There are numerous types of two-state solutions. There are countries that are members of the UN and not they have their own military. I think there are ways it could work," Biden highlighted.

After 27 days of silence and frost, US President Joe Biden returned to speak with Benyamin Netanyahu, to reiterate to him that the United States continues to focus on the creation of a Palestinian state despite the Israeli Prime Minister ruling it out just yesterday.
And that Israel - the White House announced after the 40-minute conversation between the two - must reduce the damage suffered by civilians in Gaza.
But Bibi's difficulties are not limited to Washington: even in Europe, High Representative Josep Borrell bluntly said that "the government of Israel" led by Netanyahu represents "an impediment" to any solution to the conflict, and that the international community should "externally impose" the 2-state solution.
Meanwhile, the tragedy of the hostages in the Strip remains: the Al-Nasser Salah al-Deen Brigades, allies of Hamas, have released a video showing an Israeli hostage who, according to them, was killed in an Israeli air attack.
According to the militiamen, he is Ohad Yahalomi, a 49-year-old kidnapped in Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7 together with his 12-year-old son Eitan.
The boy was released in November during the truce for the exchange of prisoners and hostages, after being beaten and forced by his kidnappers to watch videos of the horrors of the Hamas massacre, according to testimony from his relatives.
With the hostage drama unresolved and in a climate of growing international isolation, Netanyahu is also sinking in internal polls, while in Likud, his party, the opposition is growing against a leader whose political destiny appears increasingly in the balance.
If voting were held today - the latest revelation from the newspaper Maariv has certified - the Likud would collapse to 16 seats (from the current 32) against the 39 of the centrist Benny Gantz, who would therefore have more than double.
To certify the free fall in popular approval, the same Maariv poll reveals that Netanyahu stops at 31% of approval, compared to 50% for Gantz.
While it is true that polls can be wrong, it is nevertheless undeniable that the longest-serving prime minister in the history of Israel has never been in so much difficulty, not to mention the legal troubles that see him on trial in Jerusalem for corruption, fraud and abuse of power.
In short, in the Likud there are already those preparing for the succession.
Anonymous party sources told the Jerusalem Post that they consider his time in power over and his days in power over.
The prevailing feeling among the party base, according to the same sources, is that in addition to not having been able to prevent the Hamas attack of 7 October, Netanyahu is now unable to keep his promise to destroy the Islamic faction and bring everyone back the hostages at home.
Also fueling the conspiracy is the fact that if the Likud really fell to 16 seats as the polls predict, many of the party's heavyweights would be at risk of re-election.
For this reason the great maneuvers for the succession have already begun: in pole position we are talking about the current Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, not surprisingly much more aligned with the American positions in the latest declarations;
but in the running there would also be the head of Foreign Affairs Israel Katz, the head of Economy Nir Barkat and the current president of the Constitutional Affairs Commission Yuli Edelstein.
Former Prime Minister Ehud Barak called for elections by June at the latest "before it is too late", that is, before the quarrels between Netanyahu and the US bring Israel's security "into the abyss".
Not to be outdone was Gantz's deputy, the former chief of staff Gadi Eisenkot who is also a war cabinet minister: "It is necessary to bring the Israeli voter back to the polls within a few months to renew trust, because at the moment there is no trust. How can we continue like this with a leadership that has failed us miserably?", he blurted out.
On the 105th day of the war - while next Monday the Foreign Ministers of Israel and Palestine will be separately in Brussels at the EU Foreign Council and a Hamas delegation has flown to Moscow - the IDF continues to pound the Strip where it was eliminated in a targeted attack on Wael Abu-Fanounah, a senior member of Islamic Jihad and deputy head of the organization's psychological warfare operations.
The military spokesman explained that he was the man who created and distributed the shocking videos of the Israeli hostages.
According to the Palestinian Wafa agency, 12 more people were killed in an attack near the Shifa hospital in Gaza City.
While in the West Bank a 17-year-old Palestinian died in clashes with the army: he also had American citizenship, another reason for friction between Washington and the Jewish State.
