Reminder that saying "not now" without providing another time just means "not".
The Biden-Harris administration does not support a Palestinian state.

The US doesn't get to decide.
The problem is that they kinda do, though... any of the 5 permanent members (US, UK, France, Russia, China) can veto a state seeking membership to the UN. Obviously other countries can still recognize them, but being excluded from the UN precludes lots of services and agreements, and at a minimum just makes everything harder
Palestine was authorized in 47. Its neighbours over ran it (stole the land) months later. The vote back then was done differently than the way they do things today.
I’d say the shit show started then but it started long before then. And it’ll be going on long after I’m gone. Fucking religion.
The rest of the world disagreed.
Stop killing the people trying to put one together and see what happens.
These people, who have existed for a pretty long time, don't matter.
"Palestine not ready for statehood," says Israeli puppet to the UN.
No shit sherlock.
Whats required isn't status change now, but commitment to a plan to achieve statehood
No what's required is a status change now. "Commitment to a two state solution" is a straight up lie. Many countries have already recognized Palestine.
Yeah no shit, with half the place being rubble and controlled by a terrorist group, while being at war and going through a genocide why would it ever be ready?
It's almost as if by letting terror and war rage there you can always hide behind this excuse, how convenient...
Edit: Gaza, not the west bank
The West Bank is not controlled by Hamas and would be ready for statehood at any time.
Okay, that is true and I agree with it. I was too focused on Gaza
