    Since that article says virtually nothing… does Israel accept that proposal?

    My understanding is this just happened, and Israel has not had a chance to respond to it yet.

    Otherwise, this hardly matters.

    Actually, it matters a lot, as Israel was just about to invade Rafah.

      It’s certainly to be hoped, but given the Israeli mobilization in the last 24 hours or so, I’m not holding my breath.

      It doesn’t matter because if Israel doesn’t accept it, the war will continue as if it didn’t happen.

        It is still a show of good faith and progress. Egypt and Qatar would not put forward a deal that didn’t at least have a reasonable point of negotiation. So far this is the first I’ve heard about Hama’s making a serious ceasefire proposal.

        Well, I didn’t say it would be effective or not, just that it matters in the moment, it’s a focal point.

        That’s what I meant by “Wheels within Wheels”. The political chess game that is played after each move. It’s not something to be simply ignored.

      Someone hasn’t been paying attention to what Netanyahu is saying…

          In that case you should know that he’s repeatedly said that they’re going to invade Rafah regardless of any cease fire, it’s just a matter of time.

            Last I heard they were already starting to do that.

              And would do so regardless, which makes any cease fire worthless until they change their mind and stop.
