President Joe Biden is actively working to broker a three-phase agreement between Israel and Hamas in an effort to bring home Israeli hostages, free Palestinian prisoners, and potentially end the ongoing Gaza war. The proposal, publicly disclosed by Biden, includes a cease-fire and phased Israeli troop withdrawal from Gaza in exchange for the release of all hostages held by Hamas.
Despite Biden's efforts, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remains committed to continuing the conflict until Hamas is eradicated. Netanyahu's far-right coalition, which strongly opposes negotiating with Hamas, poses a significant challenge to the proposed agreement.
