What are the chances Republicans were pressuring Netanyahu to delay a ceasefire until after the election, like they did in the Iran hostage crisis?

Zero. Biden could force a ceasefire if he wanted to; Trump couldn't force him not to. And Carter didn't provide Iran with tens of billions in arms, so it's not a good comparison.
