In the CNN debate on Thursday (27), President Joe Biden was asked what he would do to get Israel and Hamas to end the war in Gaza. The Democrat responded by praising a plan that included the exchange of hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners and a “continued ceasefire with additional conditions.”
“The only one who wants the war to continue is Hamas,” Biden said. “We are still trying to get them to accept it,” the president added.
In May, Biden presented a three-phase proposal, which he said Israel had put forward, to end the war in Gaza, declaring: “It is time for this war to end.”
The deal was perhaps the furthest Biden has gone in telling Israel that its stated goals for its Gaza operation have been achieved and that it is time to stop the fighting as part of a hostage deal — but the president’s pressure has yet to result in a ceasefire, nearly a month later.
