More details on the Israeli proposal

Biden said the first six-week phase of the proposal would include a full ceasefire across Gaza and the withdrawal of all Israeli forces from all population centres. Israel and Hamas would exchange some hostages, including US citizens.

Palestinians would also be able to return to “all areas of Gaza” Biden promised, and 600 aid trucks would enter the enclave each day. 

The second phase would include talks on a “permanent end to hostilities” in Gaza. Crucially Biden said, the full ceasefire from phase one would continue as long as Hamas and Israel continue negotiating.

Biden said Egypt, Qatar and the US would guarantee the deal. The third and final stage would include the reconstruction of Gaza.
