I don't believe it's a deal at all.
It's an ultimatum to total surrender and a way to legitimize further occupation while making sure Israel keeps all the 'tools' to prevent a Palestinian state and keep up the apartheid and occupation.
It's not a peace plan, it's a calm down the "outright killing / ethnic cleansing" plan because the world has gotten too involved with the genocide.
It's all business deals to keep the Gulf states on board the Abraham accords and give mega corporations a break from the BDS movement. There is nothing in it for Palestinians besides not getting bombed for a while, and potentially a 'flood' of aid. Yet in the previous ceasefire that also only lasted a couple days before Israel started to hinder aid again with insane restrictions, slowing down the aid further and further until blocking everything early March when Israel broke the ceasefire.
If the 'deal' had any plausibility of success, backed by guarantees and solid time lines, then I would be hopeful.
But maybe Hamas will play along for a bit, return the hostages and get some desperate needed aid in. Yet I doubt it will even last as long as the previous 'ceasefire' before Israel resumes bombing and blocks all aid.
You don't end a genocide through negotiation, never been done before. The problem is Israeli society. The only realistic solution is sanctions and reform to end apartheid and settler supremacy. With the risk that Israel turns into another North Korea. The other option is military intervention, yet that only brings more death.
The biggest hurdle is the USA's continued unconditional support for Israel. The idea that the US could even broker a ceasefire deal is ludicrous given the previous decades. You see it in Lebanon, one sided ceasefire while Israel still occupies and bombs Southern Lebanon on a daily basis. US-France backed ceasefire deal, meaningless.
And yes, new resistance groups will form or Hamas will simply rebrand itself. Israel hasn't been able to break the resistance in the West Bank either despite tight control, mass surveillance and the puppet PA government.
