"Blinken affirmed President Joe Biden's administration's belief that the two-state solution is the best way to ensure the future of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state, living in peace alongside a democratic and viable Palestinian state," the state Department said in a statement on Monday.
Moreover, they discussed various key regional security challenges and the importance of continued cooperation in addressing these issues.
