Israel did not offer a ceasefire. It makes no sense for them to do so as their goal is not to defend themselves, but to exterminate the Palestinian people.
You should maybe watch the news and get informed before you say such patently false things.
Give me the link of ISRAEL calling for a ceasefire mate
Dwhat do you think the negotiations in Egypt over the last few days have been?
Did you know there were negotiations? Do you know what negotiations are?
The ball is still in your court to provide evidence that Israel is calling for a ceasefire
If Hamas just rejected a cease fire treaty, and Israel isn't the person they are negotiating with, please provide the name of whose cease fire they did just reject.
You will be blocked if you are unable to answer.

I'm sure I read a statement from the Israeli side but can't find the quote. Basically Israel said they are open to a peace deal that involves the release of all the hostages and dismantling of Hamas. Obviously that was a none starter for Hamas.
Israel has only put forth temporary ceasefires for the release of all hostages, meaning the release of hostages only if Israel can continue hostilities afterwards.
Hamas has put forth permanent ceasefires for the release of all hostages, meaning a cessation of hostilities.
