If no one in the region wants peace, it's up to the rest of the world to make sure their wars don't spill over into the rest of the world.

The problem is that people on both sides do want peace. But they are overwhelmed by those who don't. Even if those who don't are a minority, which at various times, they have been.

I agree we don't want their war(s) spilling over to the rest of the world.

I don't see Hamas signing a pact and returning any surviving hostages. They may think that the status quo was unbearable any longer, and the new status quo is preferable to the old status quo. They are turning international opinion against the Israelis, and maybe they see that as "worth it". Plus they're holding up the treaty/compact that Israel was going to sign with other middle eastern nations. Just speculating.
