Netanyahu is under pressure to keep his coalition government intact. Two far-right partners have threatened to bolt in protest at any deal they deem to spare Hamas. A centrist partner, ex-general Benny Gantz, wants the deal considered. Hamas has provisionally welcomed the Biden initiative.

    Hamas proposed deals that Israel has not agreed to, and vice versa. The previous agreements have been deemed inequitable by the opposition.

    Biden proposed the ceasefire two days ago. Netanyahu agreed, then Hamas agreed, then Netanyahu backpedaled. Now he’s back on board. It appears to be happening this time.
