SUMMARY:Biden’s Latest Peace Plan for Gaza: Impediments and Prospects
DESCRIPTION:WASHINGTON\, D.C.\nOn May 31\, President Joe Biden announced a 
 “comprehensive new proposal” that was offered by Israel for ending the
  war in Gaza\, which Biden described as “a roadmap to an enduring ceasef
 ire and the release of all hostages.” The proposal\, which Qatar has tra
 nsmitted to Hamas\, consists of three phases\, the first of which is said 
 to last for six weeks and include a ceasefire\, Israeli withdrawal from po
 pulated areas in Gaza\, the release of hostages and Palestinian prisoners\
 , a surge in humanitarian aid\, and building shelters for Palestinians in 
 the Gaza Strip. In his speech\, Biden signaled for the first time his supp
 ort for an end to the war\, suggesting a possible shift in US policy. Whil
 e the proposal itself is not different from the deal that Hamas had accept
 ed a month prior\, Israeli officials publicly distanced themselves from it
  and insisted that they would not accept an end to the war unless Hamas’
  military and governing capabilities are destroyed.\nArab Center Washingto
 n DC is convening a panel of experts to discuss the details and motivation
 s behind the proposal\, as well as the impediments and prospects for its a
 cceptance and success. What prompted this change in tone from President Bi
 den\, and how significant is it? What is the importance of the timing for 
 this move\, and is it primarily driven by considerations for the 2024 elec
 tions? What have been the responses from Israel and Hamas\, and what is th
 e likelihood that this plan will move forward? What measures are there to 
 ensure the enforcement and implementation of all agreed-upon items? And wh
 at proposals are being discussed for Gaza after the war and the Palestinia
 n-Israeli conflict in general.\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\nAaron David Miller\nSE
