Biden Presses Israel on Gaza Ceasefire, but Differences Remain

U.S. President Joe Biden has outlined a new Israeli proposal to end the conflict in Gaza, saying it is time for this war to end.

He sets out a three-part plan that includes an immediate ceasefire, the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza, and the opening of negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has welcomed the proposal, but said he needs to consult with his cabinet before giving a final response. Palestinian officials have not yet commented on the plan.

Biden's proposal comes after days of intense fighting between Israel and Hamas, the Islamist group that controls Gaza. The conflict has killed more than 200 people, including dozens of children. Israel has carried out airstrikes on Gaza, while Hamas has fired rockets into Israel.

Biden has called for an immediate ceasefire, but both sides have been reluctant to accept. Israel says it needs to continue its airstrikes to weaken Hamas, while Hamas says it will not stop firing rockets until Israel lifts its blockade of Gaza.

Biden's proposal is seen as a way to break the deadlock and end the conflict. However, it is unclear if both sides will be willing to accept it. Netanyahu has said he is committed to ending the conflict, but he has also said that he will not accept any proposal that does not address Israel's security concerns.

The conflict in Gaza has raised concerns about the wider stability of the Middle East. Biden has said that he is committed to a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but it is unclear how this can be achieved while the conflict in Gaza continues.
