    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 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.

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

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