Hamas counter-proposal looks to be unrealistic, if not dead in the water

So Hamas has come back with a counter offer after the US and Israel and Quatar agreed a ceasefire arrangement for the release of hostages. The Hamas proposal is probably already in the bin in Tel Aviv where Binyamin Netanyahu will have hurled it. They want a three-stage ceasefire ending with the total withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza. Joe Biden said he thought the Hamas proposal was over the top. Looking at it from Netanyahu's eyes it's dead in the water. But then there are the hostages and their families. The pressure from the families is going to get very very loud. At some point the Israeli prime minister is going to have to admit, at least to himself, that his military objective to kill every Hamas member on the planet is never going to be achieved. But even if he does realise that now after four months of war, he is still never going to give up until the top three Hamas leaders in Gaza have been captured or killed. If they manage to survive, the war will go and on and the hostages will stay hostages and the destruction will continue.
