I think the reason Hamas did not agree to the cease fire is because all of the hostages are dead. They have nothing with which to bargain.

The bigger reason is Hamas doesn’t exist to govern Gaza or to provide for the well being of Gazans.

It exists to wage war against Israel (and any moderate Muslims on the issue).

Domestic discontent and space between Israel and the West is an Hamas wet dream, and is an increasing outcome of this current war.

Hamas is not going to interrupt Israel as it makes a mistake.

Israel will eventually declare a unilateral ceasefire and hang a large mission accomplished banner. That is how this ends.
