New Delhi: Outgoing US President Joe Biden had a long phone discussion with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding the ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war. Meanwhile, talks are also going on in Doha, Qatar between Israel’s Mossad chief David Barnia and President Biden’s Middle East advisor Brett McGurk.
On Sunday, President Biden spoke by phone with Prime Minister Netanyahu about the ceasefire in Gaza and the release of hostages.
Sadly, the US, Egypt and Qatar were the three mediators to stop the war and eventually began a series of negotiations on a long ceasefire. But each time the talks failed due to Hamas launching missile attacks, even when a ceasefire deadline was set, the three postponed the talks in view of the futility of Hamas attacks.
This time America is very serious. Biden seems willing to do good as he goes. Biden’s national security adviser Jack Sullivan told the media that McGurk is currently drafting (the terms of the ceasefire). Which will be given to both the parties. However, he did not clarify that D.T. Will there be a solution to the war before Donald Trump takes office on January 20?
However, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said talks between Brett McGurk, Joe Biden’s top adviser on the Middle East, and David Barnia, the head of Israel’s international intelligence agency Mossad, are trying to get very close to an agreement.
The bottom line is that Hamas says that the Israeli army must withdraw from the Gaza Strip. At the same time, Netanyahu does not accept this. He wants to eliminate the fighting power of Hamas at any cost. Now the matter remains the same, although Israel is ready to partially withdraw the army in the first phase. But the army is not ready to retreat completely until all the hostages are released.
It is well known that at the beginning of this war Hamas ambushed Israel during a ceremony and killed about 1200 Israelis and took about 250 hostage. Most of the hostages were Jewish girls. It is also known that inhuman atrocities were committed on them. On the other hand, Israel has carried out large-scale attacks. Trump has given an ultimatum to Hamas that if you do not release the hostages before the 20th, there will be havoc on you.
