What is the magic other term you’re planning to get? A pinky promise to not do it again?
My point isn’t whether this is the best possible terms that can be expected. My point is that Israel isn’t acting in good faith, and we (international observers) should all be acutely and actively aware of that fact.
I’m guessing you have no idea what Israel has been doing to Palestine for the last 70 years? Israel has been killing natives and taking their land way before October 7th and the answer isn’t making it harder for Palestinians to defend themselves.
As much as I’d love to believe this, ‘Gaza disarmed’ sounds a lot to me like “We’ll try this exact same thing again next year”.
Next year? It’s more like Russia saying they’ll stop attacking if Ukraine surrenders and accepts being conquered.
It’s basically saying “we will stop the war if you let us exterminate you”.
And we see how that already went when Ukraine gave up their nukes.
Add Libya to the list.
I’m sorry, what were you expecting here?
This is more or less the best cease fire we could think of for the short term:
They demanded the hostages back (guessing most are dead by now).
Gaza disarmed? I don’t even know what that means, but whatever.

You can’t just “but whatever” that. How Israel defines that term is very important.
How is it to be verified that they are disarmed? How long do they need to remain disarmed for? Presumably, forever.
How do you verify that they stay disarmed?
It sounds like permanent occupation to me.

And… what?
That’s your argument for “we should all have a ceasefire”?
You just seem like someone who cares more about being really angry about something than trying to take the next step.
We either have a short-term cease fire, or we don’t and they keep killing random people including civilians, this isn’t multiple choice here.
But no, please, keep festering in your teenage emo rage, I’m sure that’ll fix everything.
