Israel should just press on with its campaign and accomplish the goal of the operation just as soon as possible. The US and the rest of the world should recognize the necessity to get it over with and give Israel the space and time to do what needs to be done.

But the US and the rest of the world won't do that. The Israelis are well aware that there's a clock ticking on their operation in Gaza. Several clocks, actually. They only have so much "time" (measured in weeks, measured in civilian casualties, measured in protests, measured in damage to the economy from having all the reserves called up) before they'll have to leave.

A four-day cease-fire has many costs (which you described). But it has some benefits. Perhaps most importantly, it will probably put some more time back on some of those clocks.
