The ongoing Israeli war in Gaza has been seen as one of the major crises in the world and there was some hope on the horizon as US President Joe Biden presented a new ceasefire proposal from Israel calling for a deal to stop the war.
“We can’t lose this moment,” Biden said at the White House on Friday.
Agencies report that Israel had presented a plan that envisages three phases of de-escalation – including Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza.

The plan has reportedly been sent to Palestinian group Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, news agencies reported.
“It’s a roadmap to an enduring ceasefire and the release of all hostages,” said Biden, while adding that aid to Gaza would also be boosted and hostages would be sent home under the deal.
“I know there are those in Israel who will not agree with this plan and will call for the war to continue indefinitely,” Biden said.
“Some are even in the governing coalition, and they have made it clear they want to occupy Gaza…I urge the leadership in Israel to stand behind this deal.”
