President Joe Biden announced his support for an Israeli proposal aimed at establishing a permanent cease-fire in Gaza, following seven months of intense military operations against Hamas. Speaking from the White House, Biden highlighted Hamas’s diminished capabilities and urged for an end to the conflict. The proposed plan includes a phased approach, beginning with a six-week cease-fire and the withdrawal of Israeli forces in exchange for the release of hostages. Despite historical challenges and mounting domestic and international pressure, this endorsement represents a potential pathway to peace in the region.
