    It was not biden proposal if i recall correctly. It was Israel proposal that they didn’t expect hamas to agree to and they back tracked. Hamas just announced they agree to it again, and to the UN ceasefire call to vaccinate kids.

    The zaionst state will attempt to pre-long this and kill at least 50 civilian a day and destroy more homes.

      I think it’s somewhat of an academic point. I’ve heard it suggested that the proposal was drafted by the Israeli negotiation team (which I believe is led by the Mossad, Israel’s intelligence agency). It’s never been entirely clear whether they are on the same page as Netanyahu. It may have been a proposal largely drafted by Biden’s team which he then tried to attribute to Israel as part of a weak pressure campaign, or it may have been a genuinely Isreali proposal in the sense that it was drafted by the negotiators. But the key element is that it despite what Biden or anyone else says, there was no point at which Netanyahu was willing to accept a ceasefire under the terms agreed to by Israeli negotiators.

      It may be noteworthy because there is speculation that the army and intelligence services are increasingly dissatisfied following Netanyahu’s orders. But there is no indication as far as I’m aware that they’re prepared to do anything about it.
