Sadly support for Hamas has been growing as a resort of this conflict.

They seem pleased with the outcome, so why would they agree to compromise? It’s a horrible situation.

Actually no, according to the poll Hamas support in Gaza slipped(while it grew in PA).

Only 52% of Gazans supported HAMAS a few weeks ago, and it may be even lower right now. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/poll-shows-palestinians-back-oct-7-attack-israel-support-hamas-rises-2023-12-14/

i mean, 52% still sounds high, but I don’t know what the number was in September either.

Maybe it does sound high, but it's barely a majority, I think it's even lower now, especially with how violent Hamas against it's own civilians.
