India's statement came after the US on April 18 vetoed a resolution in the UN Security Council on a Palestinian bid to be granted full membership. Palestine was given a non-member observer status in the UN General Assembly in November 2012.
The two leaders spoke to each other after nearly a month and a day after Netanyahu rebuffed Biden's calls for Palestinian sovereignty after the war ends. However, Biden said the Israeli PM was not opposed to all two-state solutions, and there were a number of types possible.
According to Biden, the two-state solution was the only way to secure the long-term security of Israelis and Palestinians so that they both could live alike in freedom and dignity. His remarks come as Hamas is reportedly looking to extend the truce by releasing more hostages.
Alvi sent shockwaves through Pakistan after he told his Palestinian counterpart that a 'one-state solution' was the only way if Israel does not accept the established policy on the two-state solution. A Pakistani Senator demanded his resignation and the government distanced itself from the remark.
PM Modi further expressed that there was common agreement among G20 leaders on various issues - including terrorism, deaths of civilians and humanitarian aid. He also conveyed his best wishes to Brazilian President Lula da Silva, who will take over the G20 presidency.
Both China and Russia are key rivals of the United States and have long-standing ties with Palestine. Their leaders have urged for an immediate ceasefire of hostilities, with Beijing criticising Israel for going "beyond the scope of self-defence".
