The two parties disagree on whether the initial six-week cease-fire should be permanent, as Hamas demands, and whether Israel should completely withdraw from Gaza

Seems that's the controversial part. Apparently it's "unworkable" to ask an invading force to leave. Blinken is arguing for permanent Israeli occupation of Gaza.

Hamas: "Stop firing"

Israel: "That's an unreasonable demands for a ceasefire!"

Unreasonable demand when the goal from the beginning has been settler-colonialism and the complete ethnic cleansing of the people they stole the land from.

That's always where this was going to end. That future was written on Oct 7. The only question is, how much pain it takes to get there.

It's obvious that the Israelis view their withdrawal and end of occupation in Gaza as a mistake and that it's time for them to undo that mistake

Dubious. Hamas are supported by/proxies of Iran, as are Hezbollah who are currently expanding their fighting along the UN Blue Line on Israel’s northern border. Only viewing Gaza in a microcosm the IDF have the raw ability to crush and subjugate Hamas/Gaza, and that this is a terribad deal to take with Hamas - now or ever.

Zoom out and look at the whole of Israel and the region, and it is clear why the US diplomatic position is for this ceasefire.
