US President Joe Biden has outlined a new Israeli proposal to end the conflict in Gaza, saying "it's time for this war to end"
He sets out a three-stage roadmap - involving a six-week ceasefire that would become permanent and then the rebuilding of Gaza with international assistance
Biden acknowledges negotiations between phase one and two would be difficult
But he urges Hamas to "take the deal", while also pressing all Israeli political leaders to do the same
He adds Palestinian and Israeli leaders need to come together to rebuild Gaza, without allowing Hamas to re-arm
Israeli forces are currently in central Rafah, in Gaza's south, but earlier this week the White House said the IDF had not crossed any red lines set by Biden
On Sunday, an Israeli strike and a resulting fire killed at least 45 Palestinians in Rafah, sparking international outrage
