Apparently, Israel just offered this deal to Hamas.
From that link:
So there's at least some acknowledgement that Biden didn't just make it all up....
On the other hand, that last sentence makes it clear that Netanyahu wants this to be a non-starter. His terms involve Hamas choosing to cease to exist, for all intents and purposes.
Hope no random bureaucrat interferes this time
Fellahs, is it far left to be against genocide now?

And yet no word from the Israeli government.
Ugh hate how BBC allows links then doesn't actually give a link where you ask it for one.
An Israeli ceasefire proposal, announced to the world by an American president, came at a time when Israel’s politicians are usually silenced by the start of the Jewish Sabbath.
No mention of the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
President Biden has set out a ceasefire deal that contains three phases, and which would lead to, in his words, “a cessation of hostilities, permanently".
Until now the Israeli prime minister has refused to accept any proposal that agreed to the end of the war. His far-right coalition partners have also threatened to walk out, and thus bring the government down, if Netanyahu concedes to a permanent ceasefire.
For its part Hamas has refused to agree to release Israeli hostages, in exchange for a ceasefire and the release of Palestinian prisoners, unless such a deal would lead to “a sustainable long period of calm”.
However, Hamas yesterday appeared to reject the Israeli offer that was presented to it by Qatari mediators.
**This evening, a Palestinian official familiar with the negotiations who has seen the new Israeli proposal, said that the document did not include a guarantee that the war will end nor that Israeli troops would completely withdraw from Gaza. **
