  This is hasbara. You need to learn more about Israeli history. Hamas was elected with the support of Netanyahu et al. And 50% of the people in Gaza weren’t even alive when Hamas was elected. (However many of them remain. The death toll after Oct 7 will probably be around 500,000 dead) Israel has never been interested in a peace deal. It is a settler colonialist project in the finest traditions of such with the aim of conquering the entire region. And the US and friends support it for racist and capitalist reasons.

    Hamas was not elected with the help of Nethanyahu, the Prime Minister at the time was Ariel Sharon. Israel supported the PA who wanted to postpone the elections due to the obvious Hamas victory yet Bush pressured to have these in order to democratize the middle east. The end result was a Hamas victory and subsequent blockade policy which was supported by the Quartet https://ecfr.eu/publication/back-to-democracy-europe-hamas-and-the-palestinian-elections/#:~:text=Ironically%2C%20the%202006%20elections%20were,democratisation'%20in%20the%20Middle%20East. https://ecfr.eu/publication/back-to-democracy-europe-hamas-a...

    Ignoring any constructive responses as "hasbara" is something that is actively harmful to any potential peaceful resolution of the conflict.

Israeli expansionism would be easy to stop if there were some reason to. But Israel knows that it's just a pretext, the war exists because Israel exists. Thus it is not worth the effort and political capital to stop the settlers. And note that the problem is blown far out of proportion--most "settlers" live in Israeli cities. Most "settler attacks" look an awful lot like self defense.
