Biden says Israel has extended new cease-fire proposal

President Biden said Israel has offered a new cease-fire proposal as Israel continues its push further into the Rafah, a city in southern Gaza.

The president, speaking from the White House Friday, offered some of the details of the Israeli proposal. The president said Qatar has submitted the Israeli proposal to Hamas. Hamas, which is designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S., has yet to issue a response. 

"Israel has offered a comprehensive new proposal," Mr. Biden said. "It's a roadmap to an enduring cease-fire and the release of all hostages. This proposal has been transmitted by Qatar to Hamas."
