Could it be a coincidence that Biden's statement came a day after Israel took control of the Philadelphia Corridor between Gaza and Egypt and the same day Israeli troops officially entered the central city of Rafah?
If the proposal presented by Joe Biden yesterday for the cease-fire of the war in Gaza has been coordinated with the Israeli government, it remains unclear with whom the president has consulted.
A source close to the Israeli prime minister said the US president's message was beyond an agreement between the two sides. While another source added that the two respective leaders had not communicated before President Biden's announcement.
What is the purpose of the plan proposed by Biden?
Washington has run out of patience with Benjamin Netanyahu.
While the US has supported recent Israeli maneuvers inside Rafah, or at least not criticized them, Netanyahu's decision to strike was a clear snub to the White House, which has repeatedly spoken out against such action.

Government sources say Israel has no idea why Biden presented the three-phase plan to achieve a ceasefire in the Gaza war.
But according to Middle East correspondent Alistair Bunkall, the most emphatic sentence from Biden was: It's time for this war to end! The American president seems to have no more patience with the situation in Gaza.
But will this proposal really bring an end to the conflict?
A source close to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu told the journalist that "Biden has been wrong in all his predictions so far and should not have taken this step." According to him, there is probably a split in the Israeli cabinet.
We recall that US President Joe Biden said that Israel has offered Hamas a new ceasefire agreement. The agreement includes the return of Israeli hostages from Gaza and the reconstruction of civilian areas. He stressed that "it is time for this war to end".
"All those who want peace must now raise their voice and work to make it real. It is time for this war to end. Israel has made its proposal. Hamas says it wants a ceasefire. This deal is an opportunity to test whether they really want it," the president said during a speech at the White House.
Meanwhile, Hamas has said in a statement that it sees as "positive" the latest ceasefire proposal presented by US President Joe Biden.
