Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is under intense pressure to consider a ceasefire plan for Gaza proposed by US President Joe Biden.

The conflict between Israel and Hamas has been ongoing for nine months, resulting in numerous casualties and hostages.

Netanyahu faces opposition from far-right factions within his government and protesters demanding a truce.

Allies of Netanyahu threaten to bring down the government if he agrees to a ceasefire deal.

Mediators from the US, Qatar, and Egypt are urging both sides to finalize Biden's proposed agreement, which includes a ceasefire and negotiations for lasting peace.

The success of the ceasefire depends on addressing the future of Gaza and the Hamas leadership.

Netanyahu insists on the destruction of Hamas and the freeing of captives before ending the war.

Reports indicate heavy fighting in Gaza, displacement of civilians, and rising malnutrition among children, highlighting a dire humanitarian situation.

President Biden's personal involvement in the peace process is seen as crucial to resolving the crisis and paving the way for a new chapter in the region.
