US President Joe Biden issued a settlement proposal on May 31 and appealed to Hamas to accept it without delay and unconditionally. Hamas had said that it would take it positively.

This proposal does not include Israel accepting or rejecting the proposal. The compromise proposal announced by Biden proposes a permanent ceasefire in exchange for Hamas releasing all hostages. After this proposal, the ultra-nationalist parties in the Israeli government had threatened that if Netanyahu accepted Biden's proposal, they would withdraw support from the government.

At the same time, Netanyahu spoke about the compromise proposal before the Parliament's Foreign and Defense Affairs Committee but did not give details. Meanwhile, Israel has announced the death of four more hostages in Hamas' custody. It is believed that Hamas now has 80 live hostages and the remains of 43 dead ones in its custody.
