BBC World Service - Weekend, Gaza ceasefire continues

US President Biden pushes for a two-state solution

US President Biden pushes for a two-state solution.

President Biden has said the US will help organise the reconstruction of Gaza but he's insisted that countries in the region recognise Israel's right to exist as part of a two-state solution. We hear from Gaza about the situation on the ground following 11 days of fighting.

Also on the programme: we hear the latest on US South Korea talks on nuclear disarmament in the Korean peninsula; and one of the biggest events in world music the Eurovision song contest, is back on stage tonight, but extraordinary precautions will be in force because of the pandemic.
