Netanyahu Faces Pressure to Accept Biden's Peace Proposal Amid Protests and Ceasefire Plans

Benjamin Netanyahu - Gaza ceasefire deal - Israel - Joe Biden - US Congress

Huge protests in Tel Aviv urge Israeli PM Netanyahu to approve US peace plan for Gaza. Netanyahu tries to navigate coalition demands over ceasefire. Despite objections, Israel tentatively agrees to ceasefire, causing a stir among far-right ministers. Biden's three-phase plan faces roadblocks in ending Gaza war.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is at the center of a political storm as massive protests in Tel Aviv call for his approval of a peace deal outlined by US President Joe Biden. Around 120,000 people rallied, demanding action to end the conflict in Gaza. Netanyahu, facing pressure from both allies and far-right ministers, attempts to balance conflicting demands amidst Biden's ceasefire proposals. Despite objections, an aide confirmed Israel's tentative agreement to the ceasefire deal, sparking controversy among government officials.

Netanyahu's stance on the ceasefire plan has stirred up internal tensions, with far-right ministers revolting against the proposed deal. The Israeli Prime Minister's hesitation to accept the agreement has strained relations with the White House, despite Biden's persistent efforts to bring an end to the conflict in Gaza. As Biden's three-phase plan unfolds, challenges persist in securing a lasting peace in the region, leaving Netanyahu in a delicate position.

Meanwhile, the families of captives in Gaza intensify their calls on Netanyahu to accept Biden's peace proposal, adding to the mounting pressure on the Israeli PM. The situation remains tense as Israel grapples with the decision on whether to fully commit to the US-brokered ceasefire plan, highlighting the complexity of the diplomatic efforts in the region.

In a surprising turn of events, an aide to Netanyahu confirmed Israel's acceptance of the ceasefire deal, despite labeling it as 'not a good deal.' This decision underscores the intricate dynamics at play in the Israeli government and the challenging negotiations surrounding the Gaza conflict. The ongoing developments underscore the fragility of peace talks in the region and the significant role that international diplomacy plays in resolving longstanding conflicts.
