American President Joe Biden on Friday laid out what he described as a threephase Israeli proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza in return for the release of Israeli hostages, saying "it is time for this war to end", now in its eighth month.
The first phase involves a six-week ceasefire when Israeli forces would withdraw from "all populated areas" of Gaza, some hostages, including the elderly and women, would be freed in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, Palestinian civilians could return to their homes in Gaza and 600 trucks a day would bring humanitarian aid into the devastated enclave.
In this phase, Hamas and Israel would negotiate a permanent ceasefire that Biden said would last "as long as Hamas lives up to its commitments" . If negotiations took more than six weeks, the temporary ceasefire would extend while they continued.
