US President Biden Unveils Israeli Ceasefire Proposal Amid Ongoing Gaza Conflict
ai generated text
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.
We've long argued a stop in the fighting can be turned into a permanent peace if we are all prepared to take the right steps.
The prime minister authorised the negotiating team to present an outline for achieving (the return of hostages), while insisting that the war will not end until all of its goals are achieved, including the return of all our hostages and the elimination of Hamas's military and governmental capabilities.
The war will be stopped for the purpose of returning hostages and then we will proceed with other discussions.
We demand the continuation of the war until Hamas is destroyed and all hostages return.
I remind Netanyahu that he has our safety net for a hostage deal.
Hamas says it wants a ceasefire. This deal is an opportunity to prove whether they really mean it.
There are American hostages who would be released at this stage and we want them home.
The ceasefire will still continue as long as negotiations continue.
They've made it clear: They want to occupy Gaza. They want to keep fighting for years. The hostages are not a priority for them. Well, I urge the leadership in Israel to stand behind this deal despite whatever pressure comes.
It's time for this war to end and for the day after to begin.
This was an Israeli proposal. We have every expectation that if Hamas agrees to the proposal — as was transmitted to them, an Israeli proposal — then Israel would say yes.
We're waiting for an official response from Hamas.
And should Biden decide to continue this lockstep support for Israel for another seven months, it's not only going to kill tens of thousands more Palestinians, but it's also going to lose him the election.
