With Hamas wanting six weeks of a ceasefire and Israel seeking the release of captives, “the first stage is good for everyone,”

But the problem with stage two of the deal is that Israel is not committed towards a permanent ceasefire.

Lot of bad faith on the part of the Israelis when it comes to stage two; the concept of a permanent ceasefire isn’t in the dictionary and in the lexicon of the Israelis.
