For those tempted to follow the leaks and spin coming from Netanyahu's office, or from Netanyahu himself, i suggest not to bother.
Here's the cheat sheet. Works flawlessly.
Netanyahu will always express support of the cease-fire/hostage deal not currently on the table.

When forced/cajoled into responding to the proposal currently on the table, Netanyahu will express support accompanied by conditions guaranteed to be rejected by Hamas.
Were this no to consequential it might even be amusing.

For those of us who've monitored Netanyahu for years, this comes as no surprise.
He assures his political survival by games like this, certain that he will alway get a pass from willing rubes.
Just ask the negotiators over the past 30 years. All but the rubes will agree.

Am I saying that Netanyahu would use these tactics in order to perpetuate the war?
You're damn straight I am.
While unnecessarily continue the carnage and preventing a hostage release?
Yes.
While embroiled Israel in war crimes and leading our descent into parish status?

Even these gimmicks are not adequate.
So to achieve his aims, he'll incite his base to assure a deeply divided country, turning the hostages' families into enemies of the state.
He'll delegitimize our foundations: the courts, heads of IDF, the Shabak, Attorney General...

Among the various reasons that Netanyahu clings to power - beyond his being the sole saviour of Israel - is a little noticed fact.
When he leaves office, we will be exposed to what he has done and that has not yet been revealed.
And even knowing him, it will floor us.
