Biden Urges Israel and Hamas to Accept Three-Phase Agreement

President Joe Biden is advocating for a three-phase agreement between Israel and Hamas to end the Gaza war, despite resistance from key Israeli officials. This proposal aims to facilitate the release of Israeli hostages, free Palestinian prisoners, and potentially lead to a resolution of the ongoing conflict.

While Mr. Biden’s initiative faces challenges, including opposition from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, the administration is determined to push for a ceasefire and withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza. The proposal underscores the administration’s commitment to finding a diplomatic solution to the conflict, even amidst political pressures and skepticism regarding its feasibility.
