US President Joe Biden Wednesday said his administration and incoming president Donald Trump‘s team are on the same team as far as negotiations on Gaza deal is concerned. Explaining the three-phase deal, Bidensaid that during the next six weeks of the first phase of the ceasefire, Israel will negotiate the necessary arrangements for phase two – “a permanent end to the war”. The US president said that there are a “number of details” to negotiate to move from the first and second phase. If negotiations take longer than six weeks, then the ceasefire will continue as long as the negotiations continue, he said. Phase two will allow for an exchange for the release of all the remaining living hostages, including male soldiers. The second phase will also involve all remaining Israeli forces to be withdrawn from Gaza, and for the temporary ceasefire to become permanent, he said. In phase three, any final remains of the hostages who have been killed would be returned to their families.
