Edit: I should add that if that deal was for a permanent ceasefire I would think Hamas would agree but what's to say Israel doesn't get what they want after 6 weeks are over and just say they couldn't get to phase 2?

Especially when their national security adviser already stated yesterday that they won't be going to stage 2.

Israel’s National Security Adviser Tzachi Hanegbi today told relatives of several hostages held in Gaza that the current government will not agree to end the war in exchange for Hamas releasing all the hostages it has been holding since October 7, according to quotations published by Channel 12 tonight.
Hanegbi told the families at the meeting earlier today, however, that he did think the government would be able to achieve a “stage one” deal for the return of hostages in the so-called humanitarian category in the near future, according to the report.
The national security adviser, a close aide to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, rebuked and insulted the relatives, the report also said, and one female relative left the meeting in tears.
Hamas has repeatedly demanded that Israel end the war as a core element of any further hostage deal.
Channel 12 quoted Hanegbi telling the families that, “The first stage of the deal, the humanitarian phase, we will be able to achieve within a few short months. It won’t take many months and not years.”
But, he reportedly added, “I don’t believe that this government will succeed in completing the entire deal. This government will not take a decision on stopping the war for the return of all the hostages.

Makes perfect sense. Propose a three phase permanent ceasefire deal with intentions to stop after phase 1.
