As I understand it, if this proposal was approved the alternative proposal for an unconditional ceasefire wouldn’t be able to pass. China and Russia favor an immediate ceasefire rather than one that is conditional on hostages being released. Also it’s unclear what is meant by “hostages” but that probably just means the ones in Gaza, as opposed to the thousands in Israel prisons under administrative detention.
That might be it. It would make sense for Hamas if they wouldn’t release all the hostages at once and that would mean a breach of the ceasefire, allowing Israel to invade anyway.
As sad as it is for the Palestinians but we have to remember that what’s best for US interest is not the best for everyone else. It was suspicious for them to all of a sudden come up with a proposal and for them to instantly have the support of the EU as well.
I heard that it was not written as a ceasefire but instead as an acknowledgement of the need for a ceasefire. Still need to find the proposal myself and read it for hours.
