Families of Israeli hostages held by Hamas are urging all parties to immediately accept a proposal detailed by U.S. President Joe Biden to end the nearly 8-month-long war and bring their relatives home. However, Israel's government has stated that conditions for a cease-fire must still be met.
Biden outlined a three-phase deal proposed by Israel to Hamas, emphasizing that the militant group is no longer capable of carrying out another large-scale attack on Israel. He called for an agreement between Israelis and Hamas to release the remaining hostages and bodies of around 30 individuals in exchange for an extended cease-fire in Gaza.
