Biden Says Israel Proposal May Provide Ceasefire Roadmap

President Expresses Support for Israel Amid Gaza Conflict

Biden's Statement on Ceasefire Proposal

President Joe Biden has expressed support for Israel's latest proposal, which he believes may provide a roadmap to a ceasefire in the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Biden stated that he is urging the leadership in Israel to stand behind the proposal, despite knowing that some in Israel may not agree with it.

The president's statement comes amid growing international pressure for a ceasefire in Gaza, where over 230 Palestinians have been killed in the fighting. Biden has been facing questions over how long he is willing to support Israel's military campaign in Gaza, particularly its most recent escalation.

In his statement, Biden said that he had spoken with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi about the situation in Gaza. He said that he had urged both leaders to do everything in their power to end the violence.

Biden's statement was met with mixed reactions. Some praised the president for his leadership in calling for a ceasefire, while others criticized him for not being more forceful in his condemnation of Israel's actions.
