"Biden's 3-Phase Gaza Ceasefire Plan Gains Traction Amid Israeli Political Tensions"

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected a cease-fire proposal described by U.S. President Joe Biden, which included a phased plan for hostages' release and Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. Despite support from Hamas and Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid, Netanyahu insists on continuing the offensive to eliminate Hamas. The proposal has faced strong opposition from Netanyahu's far-right coalition partners, threatening the government's stability. Meanwhile, efforts to reopen the Rafah border crossing and international calls for recognizing Palestine continue amidst the ongoing conflict.
