Israel Divided Over Biden's Gaza Cease-Fire Plan

Israel has accepted a U.S.-proposed framework to wind down the Gaza war, despite considering it flawed, primarily to secure the release of hostages held by Hamas. The plan, advanced by President Joe Biden, involves a phased truce and negotiations for a permanent cessation of hostilities. While Israel insists on the destruction of Hamas, the group demands a comprehensive agreement that includes an end to the Gaza offensive and reconstruction aid. The proposal has faced mixed reactions, with ongoing negotiations and significant details yet to be resolved.
