"Biden Aims for Gaza Ceasefire by Next Week"

US President Biden expressed hope for a ceasefire in the Israel-Gaza conflict by next Monday, as negotiations between Israel and Hamas in Qatar show progress. The US has been involved in discussions with Egypt and Qatar, aiming to secure the release of Israeli hostages. Meanwhile, Israel is considering plans for evacuating civilians from parts of Gaza ahead of potential new ground operations, while Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Shtayyeh resigned, potentially paving the way for a technocratic government in the occupied West Bank.
