Biden’s Gaza peace plan, is it significant? Will Hamas and Israel agree?
Al Jazeera
Peace proposals, framed by the US President as Israeli, have divided as much as they have unified.
US President Joe Biden has announced what he claimed was an Israeli peace plan to bring around a ceasefire in Gaza.
According to journalists invited to a background briefing on Friday, the new plan is almost indistinguishable from previous plans agreed by Hamas.
If successful, it would usher in a ceasefire in a conflict that has killed more than 36,000 Palestinians, the majority of them women and children, and enraged communities worldwide.
The plan envisages three stages.
The first stage proposes to involve a six-week ceasefire during which the Israeli army will withdraw from the populated areas of Gaza.
