Apparently the inept former Secretary of State Blinky and the cadaverous Jake Sullivan were doing the rounds on the unwatchable Sunday morning shows, and were claiming credit for the deal. Well here's the reason you didn't make it: It gave Israel more than you were ever willing to.

Dem and Foggy Bottom policy since at least Obama, if not during Clinton's MalAdministration, has been the perpetuation of a status quo in which Israel was constantly rocketed and shelled and raided until their chimeric
Two-State Solution somehow magically happened. Israel had the temerity to push back against LIEden's efforts to stop Israel from dishing out FAFO to Hamas. Whether Israel believed that Trump or some other R was likely to become President in January 2025 or they simply decided that Hamas had crossed a line and Israel was going to fight back regardless of US pressure, I don't know.
Israel's nearly 2 years of hitting Hamas, September 2024 decapitation of Hezbollah (I think Israel knew by then that LIEden would/could not react negatively and decisively), Israel's hits on Iranian military capacity and leadership (after Trump became President), the USAF's hits on Iran's nuclear program, and Trump's diplomatic efforts in the Arab world (plus Turkey) left Hamas severely damaged and isolated from international military and diplomatic aid.
