Israel Confiscated Baby Formula From Doctors On Arrival in Gaza

82. That's not the position of Israel.

Even ignoring that Israel's continued expansion of settlements is evidence that the previous ceasefire wasn't actually a status of peace (and likewise given Hamas is still committed to the destruction of Israel, they weren't really at peace either, just rearming) the Netanyahu government has 5 key objectives.

The return of all 50 hostages, 20 of whom are believed to still be alive.
The disarming of Hamas.
Israeli security control over the enclave.
The demilitarization of Gaza.
The establishment of an alternative civilian administration that is neither Hamas nor the Palestinian Authority.

Only 2 of those are fully up to Hamas. And given the anger of a majority of the Israeli public that supports removing Palestinians from Gaza entirely, there's no reason to believe even if Hamas returned all hostages and dispersed to other countries or turned themselves in to some justice system, whether Israeli or ICC, that the intentional starvation and such would end. Likewise there's no reason to believe that if Hamas did that they wouldn't immediately start thinking of ways to go right back to their terrorist ways. History is a guide and neither side is innocent of continuing efforts to gain power over the other.
