    Why are you so cynically dismissive of breaking news that one side of a war would be willing to accept a ceasefire proposal? It matters a lot.

      I would say both sides have to accept for it to matter. Because that’s how ceasefires work.

        Both sides need to agree for a ceasefire to work, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t matter.

        I think a ceasefire is going to require Hamas ceding any claim to power over Gaza, I don’t see Netanyahu going for anything less. His reign is over the moment the war stops and likely both sides will be facing criminal courts, so I think Hamas is going to have to take the lesser end of the stick in any deal.

        Its now just a question of which side gets what for their people before stepping down.
