Israeli Official: "It's Strange that [Biden Says] It's an Israeli Proposal and at the Same Time that Israel Needs to Agree to It"
(NBC News) Raf Sanchez - President Joe Biden's description of Israel's ceasefire proposal was "not accurate," a senior Israeli official has told NBC News. In addition, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Biden had put forward only a partial version of the Israeli proposal. The official specifically disputed that Israel had agreed to fully withdraw its troops from Gaza as part of the deal. The official also said that while the White House described the plan as originating from Israel, it was actually a proposal put forward by mediators that Israel had made amendments and changes to. "It's strange that they say it's an Israeli proposal and at the same time that Israel needs to agree to it," the official said.
