If they stop fighting a war started by Hamas, then Hamas attacks, as they promise, again and again
If they keep fighting and kill Hamas, then Iran and Yemen and Lebanon all attack

We also should not forget the that it was the UN that set up a state for Israel, Israel accepted, and then was promptly attacked by Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Not much has changed in 75 years.
