While the destruction of the final remnants of Hamas in Rafah remains crucial for permanent peace, Israel has offered the terror group a great deal for now. This includes a temporary cease-fire and the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in exchange for only some of its hostages. Yet, Hamas wants to have its cake and eat it too, demanding Israel leave its terrorists alone completely regardless of the continuing threat they pose.
This latest Israeli proposal suggests hardly any progress is being made to conclude this genocide, as Tel Aviv stubbornly refuses to budge from its unacceptable demands. While the Palestinian resistance is currently studying the offer, it's very unlikely that a mere pause in fighting, that fails to include the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza and the safe return of displaced civilians to their homes, will lead to an agreement.
