They are not good with this. But, I suspect that this move while a shite sandwich might be the least shitty of shite sandwiches. Having thousands of Palestinians starve is not good for Israel in terms of relations with its neighbors and with boots on the beach Israel is somewhat slowed and it could stop a humanitarian swell into Egypt which no one wants.

Have they opposed it? They seem to have accepted the maritime corridor that the EU has set up out of Cyprus.

It may also give us some cred from the Gulf States, which is essential to US interest.

The ONE thing I agreed with in Biden’s SOTU was his statement that there will be no lasting agreement and no true combined stance against Iran in the ME until the Saudis and Emiratis are happy with whatever is happening with the Palestinians.

Eta: oh wait, I did also agree with his accurately naming Laken Riley’s killer an illegal.
