~~Netanyahu supports~~ Netayahu says he supports

At this point, I'm sure even hardened American Zionists in the US government understand Netanyahu will never agree to anything that leads to him in jail, and a ceasefire is one of those things. They're still playing this game because it's election time and they don't want controversy. Maybe some will want to after as well, I dunno.

Ceasefire -> angry far-right parties -> coalition falls -> corruption charges resume

Honestly, Netanyahu will probably manufacture that controversy if he thinks it will win the election for Trump, anyway.

So another lie?

Blinken is either full of shit or incredibly stupid.

Like Putin, Netanyahu can have a cease fire any time he wants, he just has to give the order.

He will nix it at the last minute citing hamas

He won't need to nix anything - Hamas will not agree to a deal that does not actually hold Israel to a lasting ceasefire:

"After being briefed by the mediators about what happened in the last round of talks in Doha, we once again came to the conclusion that Netanyahu is still putting obstacles in the way of reaching an agreement, and is setting new conditions and demands with the aim of undermining the mediators' efforts and prolonging the war," Hamas said.

More specifically, Hamas objects to the fact that the proposal doesn't include a permanent ceasefire or comprehensive Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.

All this talk of a ceasefire deal is a PR stunt that allows the US to pretend like it's trying to make progress while still funneling weapons to Israel.
