U.S. Unveils 'Take It or Leave It' Israel-Gaza Cease-Fire Proposal
Biden Administration Prepares to Present Offer to End Conflict
Diplomatic Efforts Intensify Amidst Ongoing Violence
Jerusalem, Israel - The United States is reportedly preparing to present a "take it or leave it" cease-fire proposal to Israel and the militant group Hamas, in an attempt to end the escalating conflict in the Gaza Strip.
The proposal, which has been drafted by the Biden administration, is expected to be presented in the coming days. According to sources familiar with the matter, it will include a demand for an immediate halt to all rocket fire from Gaza towards Israel and a withdrawal of Israeli forces from the territory.
The conflict, which erupted last week, has resulted in the deaths of over 200 Palestinians and 12 Israelis. The violence has also displaced tens of thousands of people on both sides of the border.
- The United States has been heavily involved in diplomatic efforts to end the conflict.
- Secretary of State Antony Blinken has spoken with both Israeli and Palestinian leaders in recent days.
- The Biden administration is also working with regional partners, such as Egypt and Jordan, to facilitate a cease-fire.
The international community has condemned the violence and called for an immediate end to the fighting. The United Nations Security Council has held several emergency meetings on the issue, but has failed to agree on a resolution.
The Israeli government has said that it is committed to restoring calm to the region, but it has also warned that it will continue to strike Hamas targets in Gaza as long as the group continues to fire rockets into Israel.
Meanwhile, Hamas has said that it will not agree to a cease-fire until Israel lifts its blockade of Gaza and ends its airstrikes on the territory.
The Biden administration's cease-fire proposal is seen as a last-ditch effort to end the conflict before it escalates further.
