🇺🇸🇮🇱⚡️- American officials told Israeli government officials that Biden's speech today will be "very important."

🇺🇸🇵🇸🇮🇱⚡️- Biden's speech delayed to 2PM EST.

🇺🇸🇮🇱⚡️- Biden's speech has started.

🇺🇸🦁⚡️- Biden has started by giving his remarks on President Trump's conviction, supporting the conclusion of the jury.

🇺🇸🇮🇱⚡️- Biden: "We've been focused on a durable end to the war [in Gaza.]"

🇺🇸🇮🇱⚡️- Biden: "After intensive diplomacy, Israel has now offered a new proposal. A roadmap to an enduring ceasefire and the release of all hostages. This proposal has been given by Qatar to Hamas."

🇺🇸🇮🇱⚡️- Biden: "The proposal has three phases. The first phase will last for six weeks, including a complete ceasefire, a withdrawal of Israeli forces from all populated areas of Gaza, and a release of elderly, wounded, and female hostages in exchange for the release of Hamas prisoners."

🇺🇸🇮🇱⚡️ - Biden: "The second phase is a permanent end to hostilities. The United States, Egypt, and Qatar will ensure maintaining of negotiations."

🇺🇸🇮🇱⚡️- Biden: "The third phase: a major reconstruction phase for Gaza will commence, and all hostages will be released."

🇺🇸🇮🇱⚡️- Biden: "At this point, Hamas is no longer capable of carrying out another October 7th. I know there are those in Israel who will not agree with this plan, and will call for the war to continue indefinitely. They want to occupy Gaza, keep fighting for years, and the hostages are not a priority for them. I've urged the leadership of Israel to stand behind this deal, despite the pressure that comes."

🇺🇸🇮🇱⚡️- Biden: "We can't lose this moment. An indefinite war will only bog down Israel in Gaza, draining the economic, military, and human resources of Israel and furthering Israel's isolation. That will not bring the hostages home, and that will not end Hamas, and that will not bring lasting security to Israel."

🇺🇸🇮🇱⚡️- Biden: "The United States will help forge a diplomatic solution for northern Israel."

🇺🇸🇮🇱⚡️- Biden: "The United States will help repair communities destroyed by war in Gaza."

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇸🇦⚡️- Biden is now talking about Israeli normalization with Saudi Arabia.

🇺🇸🇵🇸⚡️- Biden has voiced his support for "Palestinian self-determination."

🇺🇸🇮🇱⚡️- Biden: "We are working to ensure that Israel lives up to their obligations. That's what this deal says. We will do our part. This is truly a decisive moment."

🇺🇸🇮🇱⚡️- Biden: "Hamas needs to take the deal. For months, people all over the world have called for a ceasefire. Now it's time to raise your voices and demand that Hamas comes to the table and agrees to this deal, and ends the war that they started."

🇺🇸🇮🇱⚡️- Biden: "The Palestinian people have endured sheer hell in this war. Too many innocent people have been killed in this war, including thousands of children."

🇺🇸🇮🇱⚡️- Biden: "Even as we work to deliver aid to Gaza, the humanitarian crisis still remains."

🇺🇸🇮🇱⚡️- Biden: "The United States has worked relentlessly to ensure Israeli security and bring an end to this war. Yesterday, with this new initiative, we've taken an important step in that direction. I want to level with you today, as to where we are and what might be possible. Everyone who wants peace now must raise their voices and let the leaders know that they should take the deal- make it real and lasting."

🇺🇸🇮🇱⚡️- Biden: "It's time for this war to end."
