They want Trump to get the credit :/
- No, Grivir and Smotrich want all of Palestine. They want to slaughter the populace and steal their stuff. They have been very open about this.
  
  Yeah, this.
If those in charge don't want a ceasefire, what point is there in one? Won't hostilities resume just as soon as eyes are off them?
- Some in charge want one but Smotrich and Grivir do not. These guys want to steal the entirety of the lands
- First, I think it helps to share an old adage:
  Two Jews: three opinions.
  We're famously discursive. In any situation it should be assumed that Israelis are in a tense debate about nearly everything.
  The families of remaining hostages in particular want a ceasefire because its a prerequisite for returning loved ones (or at least rematriating their remains). Many people also recognize that the war has no honorable or defensive purpose and is tearing apart society, fomenting regional tensions, destroying support on the world stage, and placing a huge toll on reservists and their families.
  You are correct, though: as long as Netanyahu and allies are in power, every other voice is a reed in a monsoon flood.
