The Israeli Channel 12 reported that an Israeli official said, "President Joe Biden does not understand the reality here, and his speech is weak and represents a victory for Hamas."

And Biden announced today, Friday, a "proposed Israeli" plan consisting of 3 phases that forms a roadmap to end the war in Gaza, urging all parties not to miss the opportunity to reach a deal that ends the war that has lasted for more than 8 months.

Biden stated in a televised speech from the White House that Israel has proposed a sustainable ceasefire in Gaza and the release of hostages in three phases.

He added that the proposed first phase, lasting 6 weeks, includes a ceasefire, Israel's withdrawal, and the release of hostages and the remains of those who died.

Biden continued that the second phase will witness the release of the remaining hostages, including soldiers, and the maintenance of the ceasefire, while the third phase will deal with post-war and reconstruction issues.

Regarding the role of mediators Egypt and Qatar, Biden said, "Egypt and Qatar are working to ensure that Hamas does not resume any military operations against Israel." He noted that the continuation of this conflict will drain Israel's capabilities and increase its isolation. He emphasized that a ceasefire agreement will create a different future for the Palestinian people based on self-determination and stability, according to him.

He pointed out that American negotiators have focused in recent days on a ceasefire in Gaza leading to the end of the war, the release of hostages, and a better future for Gaza without Hamas.

Biden added that "Israel has the right to defend itself, and if Hamas fails to comply, Israel will resume its self-defense." He also stated that "this deal will lead to calm in the region, including the conclusion of a historic agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia."
