UN Security Council resolution endorses Biden's Immediate Cease Fire Plan.

Phase 1 - Israel pulls out entirely from Gaza, 600 aid trucks per day pour in. Some form of hostage-prisoner exchange takes place.
Phase 2 - after six weeks, the cease fire continues as long a negotiations with Hamas continue.

So all Hamas needs to do is extend to negotiations. Israel would be even bigger pariah if they unilaterally re-engage militarily. So for the next two or three years, Hamas rebuilds, refreshes, and reconstitutes, and rearms. They siphon off as much as possible of that guilt driven western aid that assuredly will pour in.

Basically Hamas continues to exist to conduct future attacks, and all it is giving up are the hostages. They will certain to make mass hostage taking part of every operation.

Then in two or three years, Hamas can conduct the next Oct 7. Hamas promised a thousand more Oct 7 if that is what it takes.
