The real disagreement is entirely on whether or not Hamas continues to rule in Gaza when the war is over.

Hamas "stop killing us, leave our country, and we stay in charge - and we'll give what's left of the hostages back"

Israel - "Give us the hostages back and we'll stop killing you - but you're done as the government of Gaza"
