Possibly this is the image of victory Israel has been looking for. Now it’s time to be more serious about the talks to end this war. It’s been over a year and the impact has been greater than what any of the parties involved can really afford.

Good riddance!

What now? Israel is expanding their victory, I don’t really see an initiative to stop this, unless Hezbollah and Hamas show true good faith in stopping any attacks.
Both organisations still fire hundreds of rockets on Israel weekly.
The spiral will continue until Israel and US run out of money, or Hamas and Hezbollah out of rockets and martyrs.

I may be overestimating, but I think Israel has killed like a half dozen Hamas leaders in my lifetime. Other than a game of who drew the shortest straw, sorry buddy, you’re the new leader, I don’t think much more usually comes of it.

This is what I would do if I was king of Israel:
Announce that Israel wants the war to end now, it’s over, release the hostages, everyone that was previously fighting for Hamas are free of prosecution, a new dawn has arrived. If hostages are released, work will begin on rebuilding Gaza with support from the west.
A joint governing body made up of the PA, the UAE, Saudi and the US.
A transitional period of 20 years with a path to Palestinian statehood based on a new school curriculum that doesn’t teach hate towards the other side (same principles to be taught in Israeli schools).
The new beginning starts now.
In conjunction with resolution 1701 in Lebanon, enforced by the Lebanese government.
The political isolation of iran.
Normalisation with all Arab states in the next 20 years

As an optimistic outsider, this might be an opportunity for Israel to declare a unilateral ceasefire and/or slowdown of the action in Gaza followed by some kind of negotiation/ultimatum on the release of all hostages or their remains.
