Ceasefire Rejected

My understanding if I'm getting this right Is that Israel could have accepted a deal almost identical to one that Israel itself proposed in past ceasefire negotiations. And it could have won the release of many of the remaining hostages in this process (I'm assuming they can't promise everybody because some are dead). But instead of choosing to save the lives of the hostages, it has chosen to seize the Rafah crossing where most of the humanitarian aid is coming through. I assume the US knew this was going to happen which is why they started constructing their dock, although it's not clear how much good that will do.
From this point on it seems fair to say that Israel does not care about its hostages and has chosen to let them die, and is responsible for whatever the food situation is in Gaza. Thousands of people have taken to the streets in Israel to protest this b*******, perhaps because they would like to have their hostages back and they don't really want to be complicit in deliberately starving a bunch of innocent people. Apparently we finally reached a point where the US says enough, we oppose this, but it won't mean anything unless they actually act to oppose it.
