ISRAEL has given Hamas another chance to accept a ceasefire deal that could see the horrific war in Gaza finally end, says US President Joe Biden. Biden laid out Israel's three-phase proposal detailing how the near eight-month war may soon reach its long awaited conclusion with all of the remaining hostages finally being freed. In the surprise speech at The White House on Friday, Biden announced "it's time for this war to end", as he urged Hamas ' leaders to accept the latest Israeli offer at peace.
The once chilling threat of Hamas is slowly evaporating after repeated Israeli attacks in recent months with the terror group said to be no longer capable of carrying out a large-scale attack on Israel. Biden said: "Everyone who wants peace now must raise their voices and work to make it real. It's time for this war to end.
"Israel has made their proposal. Hamas says it wants a ceasefire. This deal is an opportunity to prove whether they really mean it.
" Rather unsurprisingly, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is believed to not "agree with" the proposal. He has previously promised to fight until every single militant is dead. According to the Democrat, the first phase of the much-needed ceasefire deal will last for six weeks.
It will run in a similar fashion to the first agreement in November 2023, that saw a number of hostages be released. A full and complete ceasefire would see the withdrawal of all Israeli forces from populated areas in Gaza like the besieged city of R.
