OH OH! Israel's opposition leader urges Netanyahu to accept ceasefire proposal Israel's opposition leader Yair Lapid urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to accept US President Joe Biden's proposal to end the conflict in Gaza. "The government of Israel cannot ignore President Biden's consequential speech. There is a deal on the table, and it should made," Yair Lapid wrote on X, formerly Twitter. Lapid said his party would support it even if right-wing factions in the governing coalition rebelled, meaning a deal would likely pass in parliament. Biden said Friday the first phase of the deal would last six weeks and would include a complete cease-fire and withdrawal of Israeli forces from populated areas of the Gaza Strip. This would allow Palestinians displaced by the fighting in the Palestinian territory to return to their homes. Biden also said that this phase would include the release of www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-lapid-urges-pm-to-pursue-cease-fire-deal/live-69240924

Bibi talk in press conference earlier today Netanyahu says there cannot be a cease-fire until Hamas destroyed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisted the destruction of Hamas was part of Israel's plan to end the war in Gaza. A statement from his office said putting a permanent cease-fire in place before Hamas is removed from power, its military structures dismantled, and hostages returned was a "non-starter." www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-lapid-urges-pm-to-pursue-cease-fire-deal/live-69240924
