Mike Pence, the United States vice-president, has stressed his country’s support for a two-state solution to the Middle East conflict in a bid to ease Arab concerns sparked by Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
Mr Pence told Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi during talks in Cairo that the US would back a two-state deal if Israel and the Palestinians agreed to it.
He added that he had "heard out" Mr al-Sisi's objections to the change of policy on Jerusalem.
The decision, announced last month, prompted Arab allies to question US' status as an honest broker in peace talks.
