    Why? Israel doesn’t want war, they just want to live in peace. If Hamas is willing to surrender, I am certain Israel would accept it.

      Actually they want the Palestinians gone and land control, so if Hamas surrenders, it wouldn’t bring back Gaza or even change the situation much at this point.

      They spent this entire time taking land in the west bank despite it having nothing to do with Gaza nor even geographically connected. So that right there sums up their goals.

      Israel is the dominating military force, if they wanted to, they could have easily dismantled Hamas years ago, especially considering they are the ones who supported its creation.
