Why would he ask for something he doesn't want?

- Yeah honestly this only really tells me that there won't be a ceasefire any time soon, because this is what he would say whether or not he asked if the answer was no.
  
  Most likely they already knew through lower level discussions that it wasn't going to happen, talks between foreign leaders are not like texting your friend, there are stages of communication ahead of time so the talks are productive.

If he asks and Israel says no, that creates a riff that'll lead to a huge risk of increased attacks by various regional terrorist groups. It makes sense to ask when Israel is likely to agree under pressure.

Both sides need to be willing to have lasting peace in order for this to be a legitimate discussion. Notably Hamas has rejected the last ceasefire offer, after breaking the last agreement, and states plainly they do not want peace and will not stop until Israel is no more.

Why are we hellbent on asking Israel to just sit and take it?

  Stop killing innocents =/= "sit and take it"
  
  If Israel had conducted this war in a reasonable fashion and actually focused on Hamas they wouldn't be facing this criticism. 1,200 dead on October 7th. 20,000+ dead in Gaza. Isn't this enough?

  What do you think Israel should be doing to lower the number of innocent civilians killed?
  
  They're already doing way more to prevent civilian deaths than most people would expect, conversely hamas goes out of their way to kill innocent civilians every chance they get.

  Rockets are still shot at Israel. They had a fairly large barrage the other day. Will that stop under your cease fire?
  
  Or is it Israel ceases and Hamas fires?

  What was true in 2001 as it is now, is that it takes two to tango.

Good. Don't ask the victims to stop defending themselves.
