    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Last October, Hamas militants launched an unexpected attack on Israel, storming into the south of the country and killing 1,200 people and abducting about 250 others.

    Trump, who is set to take on Biden in a presidential rematch in November, has said that the prime minister “rightfully has been criticized for what took place on October 7.”

    The three-part plan would ultimately lead to a permanent cease-fire in the Gaza Strip and include the release of all hostages still being held by Hamas.

    But doubts about the plan grew over the weekend after Netanyahu, who has repeatedly said Israel will not end the war until Hamas is destroyed, said Saturday that his conditions “have not changed” and that a permanent cease-fire was a “nonstarter.”

    “Under the proposal, Israel will continue to insist these conditions are met before a permanent cease-fire is put in place,” a statement from Netanyahu’s office said.

    On Monday, Biden spoke by phone with a critical mediator in the negotiations to confirm “Israel’s readiness to move forward with the terms that have now been offered to Hamas,” the White House said.
