(Daily Wire) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office debunked a claim that President Joe Biden made on social media Friday afternoon when the president posted a proposal that he claimed Israel made to the Hamas terrorist organization to end the war in Gaza.
“Israel has now offered a roadmap to an enduring ceasefire – and the release of all the hostages,” Biden claimed. “Yesterday, this proposal was transmitted by Qatar to Hamas. Today, I want to lay out its terms for the world.”
The 81-year-old posted a graphic on X that claimed the proposal was comprised of the following three phases:
Phase 1
- A complete ceasefire
- Withdrawal of Israeli forces from populated areas in Gaza
- Release of some hostages and some remains of hostages
- Palestinian civilians can return to their homes in Gaza
- A surge in humanitarian aid
Phase 2
- A permanent end to hostilities
- Exchange for the release of remaining living hostages
- Israeli forces withdraw from Gaza
Phase 3
- Major reconstruction plan for Gaza
- Final remains of hostages are returned to their families
Netanyahu’s office debunked the graphic published by Biden, saying that its proposal allowed “Israel to continue the war until all its objectives are achieved, including the destruction of Hamas’s military and governing capabilities.”
