WASHINGTON: US President Joe Biden on Friday laid out what he described as a three-phase Israeli proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza in return for the release of Israeli hostages, saying"it's time for this war to end".
British Foreign Minister David Cameron echoed his comments."Let's seize this moment and bring this conflict to an end," he said. "The prime minister authorised the negotiating team to present an outline for achieving , while insisting that the war will not end until all of its goals are achieved, including the return of all our hostages and the elimination of Hamas's military and governmental capabilities," Netanyahu's office said in a statement.
In his speech, Biden called on the Israeli leadership to resist pressure from those in Israel who were pushing for the war to go on"indefinitely". Palestinian health authorities estimate more than 36,280 people have been killed in Gaza since Israel attacked, and the United Nations says over a million people face"catastrophic" levels of hunger as famine takes hold in parts of the enclave.
