From isreals point of view they are fighting a "just war" (oxymoron yes I know) and are free to complete their war aims of destroying hamas. The rest of the world isn't standing in the way of Isreal so they aren't forced to give up much more than some PR.
If you knew anything about history you would know why the Palestinian situation continues getting worse and why they are constantly in wars. It's definitely as much Palestinians blocking peace as Isreal.
Every single time a ceaswfire deal gets close hamas changes the deal at the last minute to something they know is unreasonable thereby taking negotiations back to step 1. If Palestinians wanted peace they would target hamas and not Isreal. They aren't going to defeat Isreal. The only thing standing In the way of a ceasefire is the gazan "government" and the Palestinian support for them. So we can rephrase that as the only thing in the way of peace is the Palestinians living in Gaza.
If a ceasefire deal isn't reached it won't be Isrealis dying it won't be Isreal losing land. The only people getting hurt are the Palestinians. I guess the Palestinians know thay they can just wait for the fighting to end and the rest of the world will come rebuild their cities and give them food, water and when have recovered they can go right back to attacking Isreal.
And from Germany's point of view, they were fighting a just war.
This is factually incorrect. You have it backwards.
