Biden Reveals Israel’s Proposal for Enduring Ceasefire in Gaza
US President Joe Biden announced that Israel has presented a comprehensive proposal to achieve a lasting cessation of hostilities in the Gaza Strip, along with the release of all hostages. The three-phase plan includes a temporary ceasefire, withdrawal of Israeli forces, and reconstruction efforts with aid from international partners.
The first phase involves a six-week temporary ceasefire and release of hostages. The second phase aims for a permanent end to hostilities, contingent on Israel’s security guarantees. The third phase focuses on rebuilding Gaza with support from the US, Egypt, and Qatar to maintain the initiative.
Biden emphasized the importance of all parties honoring their commitments. If Hamas fails to comply, Israel can resume military operations. Despite internal resistance within Israel, Biden urged leadership to support the proposed ceasefire deal.
With efforts to rebuild Gaza and promote peace, the international community plays a vital role in ensuring a sustainable resolution to the conflict.
