Because it’s the right thing to do. Because Biden has a great deal of leverage over Israel; he is overriding Congress to give Israel offensive weapons and is the only person holding back the UN Security Council from voting to mandate a ceasefire. Reagan was able to force a ceasefire in the 1980s with one phone call, and Biden isn’t even willing to try.

Not if you want the fighting to continue so that you can keep using it as a talking point to get Trump elected.

They carefully watched their steps and saw none

Not actually necessary, but it's legally pretty complicated because Hamas is, in theory, a non-state actor and Israel never ratified all parts of the Geneva Conventions.

From that link:

While Israeli officials did not comment on the specific terms outlined by Biden, a statement from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said he had authorized the government's negotiating team to "present an outline" that included "the return of all our abductees and the elimination of Hamas’ military and governmental capabilities."

So there's at least some acknowledgement that Biden didn't just make it all up....

Biden’s announcement is notable as he and his administration have battled opposition from the far-left wing of the Democratic Party

Fellahs, is it far left to be against genocide now?

Hope no random bureaucrat interferes this time

And yet no word from the Israeli government.

Ugh hate how BBC allows links then doesn't actually give a link where you ask it for one.

An Israeli ceasefire proposal, announced to the world by an American president, came at a time when Israel’s politicians are usually silenced by the start of the Jewish Sabbath.

No mention of the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

President Biden has set out a ceasefire deal that contains three phases, and which would lead to, in his words, “a cessation of hostilities, permanently".

Until now the Israeli prime minister has refused to accept any proposal that agreed to the end of the war. His far-right coalition partners have also threatened to walk out, and thus bring the government down, if Netanyahu concedes to a permanent ceasefire.

For its part Hamas has refused to agree to release Israeli hostages, in exchange for a ceasefire and the release of Palestinian prisoners, unless such a deal would lead to “a sustainable long period of calm”.

However, Hamas yesterday appeared to reject the Israeli offer that was presented to it by Qatari mediators.

**This evening, a Palestinian official familiar with the negotiations who has seen the new Israeli proposal, said that the document did not include a guarantee that the war will end nor that Israeli troops would completely withdraw from Gaza. **

Amazingly he basically already tanked it

Netanyahu releases statement A statement has just been released from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office.

It says he has authorised the Israeli negotiating team to "present an outline" for achieving the release of all hostages.

However, the statements goes on to say the war in Gaza will not end until all goals - including the "elimination" of Hamas's armed wing and organisational capacities - are achieved.

I t continues: "The exact outline proposed by Israel, including the conditional transition from stage to stage, allows Israel to maintain these principles."

Sounds like they already rejected their own deal

So in the end America is footing the bill for Israel's destruction?
