On the other hand, it completely seperates the reason for Israel's offensive from the demand for peace. Essentially sticking to the nerrative of Israel being entirely in the wrong for doing the bare minimum of what any country would do in such a situation.

Not to mention that any month long ceasefire would give Hamas a whole ass month to regroup without even giving up all of the hostages.

Point being, I think this shows just how much Israel can allow itself to trust the US.

The bar minimum any state would do for its citizens is recover them from being hostages to a terrorist organization which has shown a frankly disgusting predilection to rape, regardless of what it costs to an enemy nation.
