Amid conflicting narratives over U.S. President Joe Biden's latest push for a ceasefire in the eight-month war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip, an Israeli official has told Newsweek that the U.S. proposal aligns with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's goal of inflicting a lasting, decisive defeat against the Palestinian movement.
"Israel will not end the war before achieving all its war objectives: destroying Hamas' military and governing capabilities, freeing all the hostages and ensuring Gaza doesn't pose a threat to Israel in the future," the Israeli official told Newsweek on background.
"The proposal presented enables Israel to achieve these goals and Israel will indeed do so," the Israeli official said.
