US President Biden Unveils Israeli Ceasefire Proposal Amid Ongoing Gaza Conflict

US President Joe Biden has outlined a three-phase deal proposed by Israel to Hamas militants, aimed at ending the eight-month-long Gaza conflict. The plan involves a full and complete ceasefire in the first phase, followed by a permanent ceasefire, withdrawal of troops, and release of hostages. In the third phase, humanitarian assistance would be bolstered, and reconstruction efforts would begin. According to Biden, the Israeli government has endorsed this proposal, which was presented to Hamas on Friday. The plan includes an exchange of hostages for prisoners, eventual Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, and reconstruction efforts.
