It’s square on the shoulders of the islamists.
THEY took the hostages of their own volition. They were not forced to.
THEY are keeping on holding them.
THEY *CHOSE* to slaughter them as soon as rescue was imminent.
NOBODY forced their hand.
If they want an end to hostilities, all they have to do is release the rest of the hostages.

I hope not. I hope Israel keeps its vow not to stop until Hamas is broken, defeated and dead.
That seems to be the only cure for their savagery.
They have proven that will never happen. The last thing they want is an end to hostilities. Consider the hostages dead and kill everything in those tunnels and the ruins above them. The pity is that it's too close to Israel to use nukes to sterilize it.
