The Biden administration is looking at options for recognizing an independent Palestinian state, Axios reported Wednesday.
The U.S. and many members of the international community have historically not recognized an independent Palestinian state.
The State Department is now reviewing a score of options to do so, including through pressure on international allies, as part of a broader effort to stabilize the Middle East in the wake of the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel, two U.S. officials told Axios.
