Biden: We're working towards a 'sustained calm'

US President Joe Biden said on Sunday that his administration is working with Palestinian Arabs and Israelis to work towards a sustained calm.

"We also believe Palestinians and Israelis equally deserve to live in safety and security and enjoy equal measure of freedom, prosperity and democracy," he said in a pre-taped video aired at an event marking the Muslim Eid holiday, according to Reuters.
