Prime Minister Justin Trudeau supports the proposal put forward by U.S. President Joe Biden on Friday that seeks to end the war between Israel and Hamas.

Trudeau stated in a post on the social media platform X: "Canada calls for an immediate ceasefire, an urgent increase in humanitarian aid without obstacles, and the release of all hostages."

He added that "the proposal put forth by (Biden) represents an opportunity to end the suffering and return to the path of peace, and all parties must seize it."

Biden detailed a three-phase agreement proposed by Israel to Hamas militants and stated from the White House that it could be a "roadmap for a permanent ceasefire and the release of all hostages."

Biden said Hamas is no longer capable of executing another large-scale attack on Israel like the one on October 7 that led to the war.

Biden clarified that the first phase of the proposed agreement will last for six weeks and will include "a complete and total ceasefire and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from all populated areas in Gaza and the release of a number of hostages, including women, elderly, and the injured, in exchange for the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners."

American hostages will be released in this phase, and the remains of hostages who were killed will be returned to their families. Humanitarian aid will increase during the first phase, with 600 trucks being allowed to enter Gaza each day.

The second phase includes the release of all remaining living hostages, including male soldiers, and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.

Biden said, "As long as Hamas meets its commitments, the temporary ceasefire will become, according to the Israeli proposal, a permanent cessation of hostilities."

The third phase calls for the initiation of a major reconstruction process in Gaza, which faces decades of rebuilding after the devastation caused by the war. The Israeli proposal was conveyed to Hamas on Thursday.

Biden's remarks came as the Israeli military confirmed that its forces are now operating in the central parts of Rafah in its expanded offensive in southern Gaza, which Biden described as a "truly critical moment."

Israel has faced increasing international criticism for its strategy of systematic destruction in Gaza, at a high cost in civilian lives, with Israeli bombings and ground attacks in the besieged enclave resulting in the deaths of over 36,000 Palestinians, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health, which does not distinguish between fighters and civilians.

Israel launched its war on Gaza following the Hamas attack on October 7, during which militants infiltrated southern Israel, killing around 1,200 people - most of them civilians - and abducting around 250. Israel states that about 100 hostages are still being held in Gaza, along with the bodies of approximately 30 other Palestinians.
