Biden’s proposed cease-fire agreement to end the Gaza war is noteworthy. The position that the war cannot end without the complete elimination of the Palestinian armed resistance, including Hamas, has been dropped. The withdrawal of the Israeli army from the residential areas of Gaza is proposed. The displaced are guaranteed return to the places they were forced to leave. While Israel’s hard-right opposes the proposals, most of the Zionist factions quite influential in the American administration, support it. The rulers of European countries have also supported it.
What prompted Biden to make such a proposal? Many observers attribute this to fears that his approach on the Gaza war and support for the Zionist regime’s genocide will backfire in the upcoming elections. That surely has played a role. Trump’s support is growing. His conviction has given it a boost. But this is not the only reason.

Missiles are fired into Zionist occupied Palestine. Above all, despite the loss of nearly 50,000 lives and the daily inferno, the morale of the Palestinian people has not dimmed. International support is increasing day by day. This is the main factor that motivating Biden’s peace proposals.
