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
During that six week period, negotiations mediated by the US and Qatar would continue. If successful, the next part of the plan would begin.

Biden may be a Zionist removed but he knows their government. Israel would immediately turn down a permanent ceasefire so what’s the point in proposing it?
A temporary one to let tensions settle might lead to Netanyahu’s ousting, a permanent ceasefire deal, or end up with a continued genocide. Even if the chances of peace are low, isn’t it better than the alternative?
Because it’s the right thing to do. Because Biden has a great deal of leverage over Israel; he is overriding Congress to give Israel offensive weapons and is the only person holding back the UN Security Council from voting to mandate a ceasefire. Reagan was able to force a ceasefire in the 1980s with one phone call, and Biden isn’t even willing to try.
Not if you want the fighting to continue so that you can keep using it as a talking point to get Trump elected.
