President Biden has set out a peace proposal and ceasefire offer from Israel that he said could end the war in Gaza.
Mr Biden urged both Hamas and Israel’s leaders to accept the deal, saying those in Israel who wanted "indefinite war" must change their minds.
He outlined a three-phase proposal, that would begin with an immediate six week ceasefire. At the same time, Israeli forces would carry out a withdrawal from Gaza. Israeli hostages in Gaza would be exchanged for Palestinian prisoners and 600 trucks of humanitarian aid would be delivered there each day.
In the second phase, Hamas and Israel would negotiate a permanent end to hostilities. The final phase would include a major reconstruction operation in Gaza, with international support.
