President Joe Biden's proposal for a cease-fire in the ongoing Israel-Gaza conflict has positioned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at a pivotal moment that could significantly impact his legacy.
Netanyahu has criticized Biden's presentation of the cease-fire proposal, highlighting discrepancies and asserting that it omits critical details such as the demand for a permanent cease-fire, Israeli troop withdrawal from Gaza, and terms for reconstruction and prisoner exchange.
