‘It’s time for this war to end’. President Biden presents new Israel cease-fire offer. | DW News

US President Joe Biden has endorsed what he calls an Israeli proposal for a permanent cease-fire in Gaza. The plan would unfold in three phases and assure a permanent ceasefire, the return of Israeli hostages and the reconstruction of Gaza. Hamas has released a statement saying it views the proposal 'positively'. The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said it still wants to see the destruction of Hamas's military and governing ability.

Biden has said this, but where is Israel saying it?

[gaborrajnai]

If it is an Israeli proposal, then how come the Israeli government rejects it?

[GhostOnTheHalfShell]

Let’s remember Israel considers all Palestinians Hamas. It’s not hard to tell how this will end.

[biscotty]

A withdrawal from all "populated" areas of Gaza? Meaningless. And he's clearly, pathetically, trying to convince the Israelis to support the proposal "from Israel". Reporters have conveniently short memories... Israel backed away at the last minute from the most recent US supported "agreement", not Hamas.

[freedombro]

Hamas, should not be in control of gaza any further.

[djouher]

D'accord, mais la principale question reste posée. Quand est-ce que bibi monte dans son avion pour La Haye ? Il n’est pas dispensé. René.

[BopperNoStopper]

fix the botched border, flatten it out

[starter]

Why would Israel ceasefire when they are winning?

[hansrichenberg]

This clearly is not an israeli proposal, but ameri an american one. Not a word is said about how to satisfy israeli safetyconcerns.

[raiconlan]

thats a mischaracterization of the proposal there is no offer for permanent end of hostilities leaving Hamas in power its just a few months for the hostages and then it's game time baby don't get it confused.

[Input-vhvu]

What??? Israel never proposed such idiotic plan.

[SoBiased]

Complicity is complicity, there's no excuse for that

[gelbaits]

keep in mind.... joe has never told the truth ever

[asokbiswas]

Now everyone will agree. IDF should finish the tasks before the proposal is on the table

[brentshowers]

This wasn’t from Israel. Bill burns director of the cia and Hamas made this deal point by point and Israel refused it weeks ago haha. And even then America made the final draft open ended to allow Israel to attempt to maintain its occupation not move towards a negotiated sustainable peace that leads to a Palestinian state

[emanelsafoury]

Western Civilization where are you 🧐🧐🧐?

[mariusmihai]

I'm the only one who thinks there are no hostages alive?

[SoBiased]

The us Israel still have the nerve to want the world to respect them

[masssly]

Well, Hamas says they are inclined towards that deal. What is Israel saying?

[mimikrya]

Netanyahu's goal remains to destroy Hamas. At the same time, the Israeli proposal talks about negotiations with Hamas.
An additional enigma is who will represent the Palestinians in all three phases.
Nothing is clear to me. Can someone explain to me in common sense without political shenanigans?🤔
