President Joe Biden has called for a quick ceasefire and end to the fighting between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip, saying the militant group is no longer capable of launching an attack on Israel like the one on Oct.

Netanyahu maintains that planning for Gaza’s future is premature until Hamas is defeated, arguing that no one will replace the terror group as long as it remains in power. This stance has caused frustration in Washington, which has pushed Israel to plan for postwar Gaza since the early days of the conflict.
