An aide to Prime Minister Netanyahu confirmed on Sunday that Israel had accepted a framework deal.
An aide to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed on Sunday that Israel had accepted a framework deal fornow being advanced by US President Joe Biden, though he described it as flawed and in need of much more work.
Biden, whose initial lockstep support for Israel’s offensive has given way to open censure of the operation’s high civilian death toll, on Friday aired what he described as a three-phase plan submitted by the Netanyahu government to end the war. Biden has hailed several ceasefire proposals over the past several months, each with similar frameworks to the one he outlined on Friday, all of which collapsed. In February he said Israel had agreed to halt fighting by Ramadan, the Muslim holy month that began on March 10. No such truce materialised.
Falk reiterated Netanyahu’s position that “there will not be a permanent ceasefire until all our objectives are met”.
