I wrote a substack where I argued that the reason Israel decided to continue the full-scale war/genocide was that they realized Hamas would have returned all the hostages. Had Israel gotten back the hostages, they would have no reason to continue the "war". Before the full-scale war was back again, they continuesly tried to provoke Hamas to attack. By not keeping their promises (shelters, food, healthcare services and killing over 150 Gazans)

You must be gullible to think that when the Resistance returns the IDF prisoners, Israel would leave Gaza in peace! Have they left The West Bank and Occupied Territories in peace, where there is no Hamas and no resistance movement? Israel and its leaders has made it clear from day one, decades ago, that Gaza must be flattened and Gazans must leave because of Gas and Oil discovered on the offshores of Gaza and Lebanon. In 1999, the license for the area was controversially granted to the Palestinian Authority by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, but its precise legal standing remains ambiguous. Having said that Palestinians president ABBAS is a puppet put there by Israel and America to implement the axis of EVIL Agenda, he does not represent the Palestinians! The PLO Yasser Arafat, the previous Palestinian president who was poisoned by Israel, refused that the OIL and GAS of Palestine to be taken by Israel. As a result, when the Houston-based Noble Energy and its Israeli partner Delek took BG Group to court in 2021 to challenge the license area it had been given by the PA, the court abstained from giving a verdict, because, according to the government of Israel, pending a final peace deal, it was the equivalent of “no-man’s water. Moreover, in 2001, Barak, as a goodwill gesture, adjusted the maritime boundary in the region, ensuring that the entirety of Gaza Marine would be situated within Palestinian territorial waters, rather than extending into Israel's Exclusive Economic Zone. Israel, thought that by encircling Gaza from air, land and sea and starving Gazans by letting very little food, water or electricity over decades that Gazans will give up and leave but they didn't! The situation is further complicated by increased Israeli control over the area since Hamas were elected in Gaza in 2006. In 2001, then-Prime Minister BUTCHER Ariel Sharon blocked any deal involving Palestinian gas because a French Company offered to extract the Gas and OIL, so that Gaza and Palestinians can have a better economic prospects and better life just like their occupier Israel. By May 2002, Sharon lifted the veto after encouragement from British Prime Minister Tony Blair, the WAR CRIMINAL of Iraq, who believed that purchasing Palestinian gas could contribute to advancing peace efforts during a tense period. In 2014, PA and Russian officials discussed a possible cooperation between Gazprom and the Palestinian Investment Fund in the field of gas and oil exploration and extraction. In September 2015, ABBAS visited Moscow, where he further discussed with Vladimir Putin the possibility that Gazprom develops Gaza Marine field but Israel blocked it completely. There's no way Israel, a nation built on theft, massacres, lies and rape would even allow Gazans or Palestinians prosper from their own Land or Gas or Oil. Their God, Lucifer told them to kill everyone Palestinian Arab and Christians. These genocidal psychopaths MUST be brought to justice for crimes against humanity for over 77 years now!

I absolutely agree. And I don't think Hamas expected them to keep their promises. But they got to expose Israel.

Netanyahu doesn't care. About. Human. Life. If it obstructs his aims, whoever you are; and Palestinian lives never count for him. Trump is the same.
