Netanyahu aide: Biden's Gaza plan 'not a good deal' but Israel accepts it
==========
An aide to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that Israel had accepted a framework deal for winding down the Gaza war proposed by U.S. President Joe Biden. However, the aide described the deal as flawed and in need of more work. The deal includes a truce and the return of some hostages held by Hamas, followed by negotiations for an open-ended cessation of hostilities. Israel's conditions, including the release of all hostages and the destruction of Hamas as a terrorist organization, have not changed. Netanyahu is under pressure to keep his coalition government intact, as far-right partners threaten to leave if they deem the deal to spare Hamas. Hamas has provisionally welcomed the Biden initiative but wants a guaranteed end to the Gaza offensive, withdrawal of all invading forces, free movement for Palestinians, and reconstruction aid.
