Israeli newspaper: The Biden administration is preparing a major regional deal that includes stopping the war in Gaza News

The Israeli newspaper “Israel Today” said that the administration of US President Joe Biden is currently working on formulating a major regional deal to stop the war in the Gaza Strip and reduce tension in the region.

The newspaper quoted an unnamed Israeli source as saying that the deal includes a ceasefire, the establishment of a new regime in the Gaza Strip, the normalization of relations between Israel and the Arab world, and the release of prisoners.

The newspaper said in a report published yesterday, Thursday, that the aforementioned Israeli source confirmed that the deal includes several principles aimed at achieving long-term stability as part of the post-war reality.

She pointed out that the deal is part of what US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken spoke about at the Davos Forum this week when he said that Israel needs to make difficult decisions.

The newspaper pointed out that the deal is still in its initial stages, and it is not yet clear how much of it has been formulated, or whether it will lead to an agreement that will end the war and launch a political process to resolve the conflict.

So far, no official comment has been issued by the concerned parties regarding what was revealed in the Israeli newspaper report.

Israeli refusal

Talk about this deal comes after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced yesterday, Thursday, that he informed the United States of his opposition to the establishment of a Palestinian state within the framework of any scenario for the post-war period in Gaza, and his insistence on continuing the war in the Gaza Strip until victory over the Hamas movement, which is a position that contradicts the American desire. .

The United States called on Israel to reduce its attack on Gaza, and said that the establishment of a Palestinian state must be part of the post-war phase, which Netanyahu announced his explicit rejection of, demanding full Israeli control over the Strip.

The Israeli occupation has continued its aggression against the Gaza Strip since last October 7, which resulted in the death of 24,620 Palestinians and the injury of 61,830, and caused an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe in the Strip and the displacement of more than 85% (about 1.9 million people) of its population, according to Palestinian authorities.
