Biden’s national security team has no plans to prese an updated ceasefire plan for the Gaza war
Two senior U.S. officials told CNN that Biden’s national security advisers have no definite plans to prese the preside with an updated proposal for Gaza ceasefire talks.
According to Isna, this comme by senior officials in Washington about the lack of a definite ceasefire plan means that the negotiations to end the conflict in Gaza have seriously reached a dead end.
Some U.S. officials have said in rece weeks that the U.S. cease-fire proposal for Biden’s approval was finalized before being shared with other mediators in the cease-fire talks, such as Qatar and Egypt.
Ahony Blinken, the US Secretary of State, is one of the most senior US officials to travel to the region and will go to Egypt today (Wednesday). It seems that this trip is the result of a significa progress towards the ceasefire agreeme, because for the first time since the Al-Aqsa storm operation on October 7, he will come to the region without stopping in the occupied territories.
An importa issue in the negotiations is related to the issue of Palestinian prisoners who are released in exchange for Zionist prisoners.
According to these officials, Hamas recely demanded the release of life-seenced prisoners in exchange for the release of Zionist prisoners, which is a change from previous negotiations, when the parties talked about the release of these prisoners only in exchange for Israeli soldiers.
American officials blame Yahya al-Sanwar and Hamas for this impasse and claim that it is not clear whether he is willing to reach an agreeme or not.
Of course, there are many doubts in Washington about Netanyahu’s political ieions to end this war. He insists on the deployme of Israeli soldiers throughout the Philadelphia Corridor at the same time as the ceasefire agreeme goes io effect, and even caused some American officials to say that this emphasis by the Prime Minister of the Zionist regime on maiaining corol of this area along the border of Gaza and Egypt is effective. is not
Facilitating an end to the Gaza war before he leaves the White House is one of Biden’s top foreign policy priorities, but CNN previously reported that there is serious doubt within the Washington administration about whether a deal can be reached before the end of his presidency. Will the Republic of Biden be achieved or not?
Still, American officials insist that they hope for a ceasefire agreeme and coinue negotiations, although the prospect of a ceasefire seems very dim.
National Security Council spokesman John Kirby also declined to say when a U.S. cease-fire proposal would be ready, but stressed that Washington is working hard to make progress.
“Negotiations are ongoing,” Kirby added. “What is not clear for us is whether we can reach a ceasefire or not.”
