I think the hardest thing about the current conflict is this:
Israel cannot defeat Hamas because it is an ideology, and integrated into Palestinian society to some extent. So Hamas, or supporters / ex members of Hamas, will have to be part of a negotiated solution. For this to happen Israel will have to drop the stated aim of eliminating Hamas entirely, and the Hamas ideology will have to drop the stated aim of killing all Jews. And we are desperately far from any de-escalation in the mutual hatred.
