US President Plans To Order Ceasefire Monday

United states President, Joe Biden says he will issue an order next week Monday for ceasefire in the Israeli-Gaza war.

Spokesman for the US State Department says "progress" had been made in negotiations to release the Israeli hostages in the last several days, but that it remained unclear whether Hamas would accept the latest proposed deal.

Israel said, its forces are preparing to go into Rafah to attack Hamas fighters there, while, the prime minister's office said it had received plans from its military to evacuate civilians from the city.

Israel has been under mounting international pressure not to launch an offensive in Rafah, where about 1.5m Palestinians are sheltering, most having fled fighting further north in the territory.

In a separate development, Palestinian Authority, Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh resigned along with his government, which runs parts of the occupied West Bank.

President Mahmoud Abbas accepted his decision, which could pave the way for a technocratic government.

Mr Abbas is under pressure from the US to reform the PA so it can govern Gaza after the Israel-Hamas war ends.
