Does this one only call for a temporary ceasefire in exchange for the hostages? If so that’s still a non-starter and Biden knows it, if Israel isn’t withdrawing permanently then it’s not really of any benefit to the people of Gaza and the genocide will continue immediately after Israel gets the hostages.
It’s a three-phase agreement, from ceasefire to reconstruction of Gaza.
Biden said the first phase of the proposed deal would would last for six weeks and would include a “full and complete cease-fire,” a withdrawal of Israeli forces from all densely populated areas of Gaza and the release of a number of hostages, including women, the elderly and the wounded, in exchange for the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.
The second phase would include the release of all remaining living hostages, including male soldiers, and Israeli forces would withdraw from Gaza. “And as long as Hamas lives up to its commitments, the temporary cease-fire would become, in the words of the Israeli proposal, ‘the cessation of hostilities permanently,’” Biden said.
The third phase calls for the start of a major reconstruction of Gaza, which faces decades of rebuilding from devastation caused by the war. The 4-1/2 page Israeli proposal was transmitted to Hamas on Thursday.

No, it just starts with a six week temporary cease-fire and hostage/prisoner exchange. It then progresses from there.
