Biden has now tweeted the 3-phase proposal.
Let's go through point by point:
Phase 1:
- a ceasefire, which in effect means Israel will continue/resume its activity pre Oct 7 - which means Palestinians killed or held in indefinite captivity at a slower rate than they are now. Any Palestinian who resists being summarily executed or imprisoned by Israeli forces will be cast as having broken the ceasefire.
- Withdrawal of Israeli forces from populated areas...which don't exist because Israel has demolished every bit of infrastructure in populated areas
- Palestinian civilians can return to the rubble of their homes
- A surge in humanitarian aid...which should and would already be the case except that Israel keeps killing those attempting to provide aid. All this actually means is that Israel will probably allow more supplies in.
Phase 2:
- A permanent end to hostilities, meaning that Israel will be free to continue settlement building, detention of Palestinians for crimes such as breathing and existing, but if a Palestinian throws a rock in response they'll be accused of breaking the peace
- Exchange for the release of remaining live hostages... Exchange of what? Exchange means each side gives something. Are Israel about to release the thousands of Palestinians they hold in captivity? If you desire to see how hilariously disingenuous the US is, note that they don't even specific or mention what Israel might be exchanging in return (because they can't acknowledge that Israel do anything wrong)
- Israeli forces withdraw from Gaza (but still get to sit on their wall around Gaza and snipe people for fun)
Phase 3:
- Major reconstruction plan for Gaza...don't make me laugh. The only construction will be of natural resources extraction infrastructure off the coast, which Palestinians will never see a dime of.
- Final remains of hostages are returned to their families. Whatever, that one is probably what it says on the tin.
This plan serves to do nothing but return the situation to that which existed pre-Oct 7, just with a hundred thousand extra dead Palestinians. This is not a plan for permanent peace or anything approaching it, it is a plan for Israel to slow it's rate of genocide to pre Oct 7 levels so that the world (and Biden's potential voter base) stops paying attention.
