Joe Biden’s Gaza ceasefire plan is a three-phase proposal aimed at ending the conflict between Israel and Hamas, ensuring the release of hostages, and facilitating the reconstruction of Gaza.
WHAT ARE THE THREE PHASES OF THE PLAN?
1. Immediate Ceasefire: An immediate halt to hostilities, coupled with the release of some Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners.
2. Permanent Ceasefire and Withdrawal: Upon agreement, a permanent ceasefire, the release of remaining hostages, and the full withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.
3. Reconstruction of Gaza: Focus on rebuilding Gaza, addressing near-famine conditions, and restoring basic infrastructure.
WHAT IS THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL’S ROLE?
The UN Security Council has endorsed the US resolution backing Biden’s plan, which increases international pressure on both Israel and Hamas to end the conflict.
HOW HAS THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY RESPONDED?
The resolution has gained support from the G7 and various governments. Hamas has expressed a willingness to negotiate, while Israel’s government is divided on the proposal.
WHAT ARE THE CHALLENGES AHEAD?
Key challenges include:
• Israeli Government Division: Internal disagreements within Israel’s coalition government may hinder acceptance of the plan.
• Implementation of Ceasefire: Ensuring the ceasefire holds while negotiations proceed.
• Reconstruction Efforts: Coordinating international efforts to rebuild Gaza under ongoing geopolitical tensions.
WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF THIS PLAN?
The plan aims to reduce immediate violence, secure the release of hostages, and pave the way for long-term peace and stability in Gaza. The endorsement by the UN Security Council underscores the international community’s support for a resolution to the conflict.
