Quick Glance: Biden Administration's Cease-Fire Efforts Under Scrutiny
- The Biden administration's aspirations to end the war in Gaza and progress towards a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine hinge on securing a temporary cease-fire and the release of Israeli hostages.

- Arab involvement, particularly from Saudi Arabia, is pivotal in negotiations to push Israel towards considering a separate Palestinian state amidst escalating tensions.
- With no contingency plan in place, pressures from potential Iranian strikes and the condition of the hostages in Gaza intensify the urgency for a breakthrough in the cease-fire discussions.
