    I’m sorry, what were you expecting here?

    This is more or less the best cease fire we could think of for the short term:

    They demanded the hostages back (guessing most are dead by now).

    Gaza disarmed? I don’t even know what that means, but whatever.

    What is the magic other term you’re planning to get? A pinky promise to not do it again?

      You can’t just “but whatever” that. How Israel defines that term is very important.

      How is it to be verified that they are disarmed? How long do they need to remain disarmed for? Presumably, forever.

      How do you verify that they stay disarmed?

      It sounds like permanent occupation to me.

      My point isn’t whether this is the best possible terms that can be expected. My point is that Israel isn’t acting in good faith, and we (international observers) should all be acutely and actively aware of that fact.
