1:50Now PlayingThe US State Department pushed for the formation of a Palestinian state on Thursday.
Spokesperson Matthew Miller said Israel had an opportunity right now as countries in the region are ready to provide security assurances to Tel Aviv.
"We do believe that this conflict as all conflicts do will end at some point, and that there needs to be a political path forward for the establishment of a Palestinian state. That is the only way, not just to answer the legitimate hopes, dreams, aspirations of the Palestinian people, but it is also, and this is critical, the only way to provide lasting security for the Israeli people."
Miller was speaking after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Washington he objected to any Palestinian statehood that did not assure Israel's security.
"I clarify that in any arrangement in the foreseeable future, with an accord or without an accord, Israel must have security control over the entire territory west of the Jordan River. That's a necessary condition. It clashes with the principle of sovereignty but what can you do,"
These latest comments make it appear as though Netanyahu’s government is at odds with Washington, its biggest backer.
Last week U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken took a rough agreement to Israel that its predominantly Muslim neighbors would help rehabilitate Gaza after the war, so long as Israel committed to the eventual creation of an independent Palestinian state.
U.S.-brokered talks on a Palestinian state territory now occupied by Israel collapsed almost a decade ago.
Israel launched its siege in Gaza following October 7 attacks by Hamas militants, which Israeli officials say killed one-thousand two-hundred people.
Meanwhile, the local health ministry in Gaza says over twenty-four thousand people have been killed in Israel's assault.
