    The way I read it was a ceasefire in return for some of the hostages. Nobody floats their final offer with the first contact.

    • Some of the hostages for humanitarian lanes
    • Most of the hostages for a 7 day ceasefire with monitored evacuations
    • All of the hostages for a 14 day ceasefire
    • All of the hostages and known leaders of HAMAS for an indefinite ceasefire, contingent on zero future incursions or military operations (you have to offer at least one impossible option past what you want)

      Israel needs to reset the value of hostages in the long run. They can’t afford for hostage taking to be viable in the long run. And as long as they are successful militarily; there’s no real reason for them to budge from their position.
