I think (and hope) that the enormous amount of international pressure that Israel has seen has shown them that they won’t be able to carry out things the way they wanted to, and that even US support has a tipping point.
This is their opportunity to save face and buy back political capital by saying “see we have restraint”. But (if this goes through) time will tell how serious they are, because the world will be watching as they have to rebuild essentially all of Gaza.
