Ending the Gaza war: Three phase proposal

PHASE ONE

  • It would begin with a six-week ceasefire, during which the IDF would withdraw from populated areas of Gaza
  • Hamas would release “a number” of hostages - including women, the elderly and the wounded - in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners. Some remains of dead Israeli hostages would be returned to their families
  • Palestinian civilians would return to their homes in all areas of Gaza
  • Humanitarian assistance would “surge”, with 600 trucks a day entering the strip, and hundreds of thousands of temporary housing units sent by the international community

    Netanyahu releases statement A statement has just been released from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office.

    It says he has authorised the Israeli negotiating team to “present an outline” for achieving the release of all hostages.

    However, the statements goes on to say the war in Gaza will not end until all goals - including the “elimination” of Hamas’s armed wing and organisational capacities - are achieved.

    I t continues: “The exact outline proposed by Israel, including the conditional transition from stage to stage, allows Israel to maintain these principles.”

    Sounds like they already rejected their own deal

      I don’t think that’s what this means.

      In his speech, Biden said that Hamas was no longer capable of another 10/7.

      Netanyahu said here and elsewhere that his goals are “elimination of Hamas’ military and governmental capabilities” and returning the hostages.

      To me, it sounds like they are saying that this plan is being offered because they believe Hamas’ military capability has already been destroyed, so it’s time to trade peace for hostages.

        Israel doesn’t care at all what Biden says though. He could say hamas is eliminated by Israeli forces and they’ll keep going because the point is land grab not anti terrorism.

        You don’t stop terrorism by blowing up civilians
