Sounds like Israel's main complaint is:
The U.S. official said the Biden administration's stated aim has been to "ensure that an initial six-week ceasefire would be built into something more enduring. The agreement lays out three phases for this purpose and it would be our aim to see all three phases completed with all the hostages returned to their families."
Israel doesn't want a lasting ceasefire...
They want everything they're asking for in exchange for a very brief "ceasefire" where they don't actually even pause their genocide.
There is no overlap of positions. It boils down to Hamas wants to stay in power and Isreal won't agree to that. But, mediators still want to keep talks going.
It ain't easy.
They want Gaza to continue to exist, Israel does not.
Israel wants Gaza to become Israel, which is why they're flattening it and killing everyone that lives there.
Since Hamas accepted this ceasefire agreement, Israel has stepped up their invasion and murdering of civilians

That's not what you do if you're legitimately working towards a ceasefire.
It's no different than Russia saying they want peace while leaving out they'll only stop the attack when they get everything they want.
Neither Russia nor Israel want peace, they want surrender.
It's two very different things.
The only way to an actual peace in the region is starting to take steps towards the long term. As distasteful as it may seem it likely includes giving Hamas at least some measure of a seat at the table in the process.
"I get what I want, you get a months reprieve before I kill you." is not a serious proposal to end this.
"It looked like a whole new proposal," one [Israeli] official said.
A source with knowledge of the negotiations said the U.S. invited the Israelis to Cairo over the weekend but they chose not to send a team. One Israeli official admitted it was a mistake that led Israel to have less visibility into the talks
Wow so weird that if you don't show up to negotiations things happen without you! Who would have thought
It's almost like they have no interest in diplomacy or actually getting the hostages back
I come to negotiate peace! Give me everything I want and in exchange I'll stop killing everyone for a month.... Ok twist my arm, 2 months.
I came to negotiate..Keep me in power and I'll come back and murder your citizens, the way I promised to.
See. No overlap
Let's blame the US for Israel's genocide :::
Israelis frustrated at this point can only be a good thing
Why are we involved? It's not our territory, it's not our business, it's not our problem.
Innocent people are dying and we're providing the weapons to kill them. If we're not gonna be involved, at least stop sending weapons. But even better: let's try to stop people from being killed.
We do not live in isolation in the world. Experience has shown that isolationism delivers very negative consequences
The US has always brokered deals in the middle east, and the reason has been oil, I reckon. In this case the parties aren't talking directly, so the US uses its allies of Egypt and Qatar to talk to Hamas while we talk to Isreal.
Experience has shown that isolationism delivers very negative consequences
There is a lot of ground between being an isolationist hermit like North Korea and getting involved in conflicts that we need not be involved in. I would say our involvement in the Middle East has done more harm than good. We are the reason Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan are in the conditions they are in, for instance.
