Biden further added: Israel has made a comprehensive proposal regarding a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of all prisoners. Israel’s proposal is completely new and includes 3 stages and includes the return of Gaza Palestinians to their homes. Israel’s proposal is a roadmap for a ceasefire and the release of prisoners, and it has been transferred from Qatar to Hamas.
Biden clarified: Israel’s proposal includes a six-week ceasefire in the first phase. In the second and third stages of this proposal, all living prisoners, including Israeli soldiers, will be exchanged, and the extensive reconstruction plan of the Gaza Strip will be implemented.
In another part of his speech, he said: Israel wants to ensure that Hamas is not able to carry out another October 7th-style attack. I urge the Israeli authorities to support the proposed new agreement. If Hamas rejects Israel’s new offer, Israel will continue its war in Gaza.
Biden continued: This agreement will allow Israel to be accepted into the region and reach a historic normalization agreement with Saudi Arabia. There is a risk of increasing Israel’s isolation at the global level, and this agreement will return prisoners and peace to Israel.
The American president also said that his country will help formulate a solution to the situation of the borders of Lebanon.
