Biden says Israel has offered to Hamas a three-step road map to an enduring ceasefire

US President Joe Biden announced on Friday that Israel had proposed a ceasefire in Gaza in return for the release of hostages. He urged Hamas to accept the offer, calling it the most effective way to end the conflict. "It's time for this war to end and for the day after to begin," said Biden, emphasizing the need to conclude the eight-month-long Gaza conflict.
