This war showed Israel lacked the guts to finish what it started.

If you are going to agree to a cease fire? why wait for more than 1 year with thousand of lives lost. If you really want to finish Hamas militarily, why stop now? IMO Israel should just have continued its military objectives. Does not matter if 500000 Palestinians lives are lost. Once you start something, you should finish it. Now because of the ceasefire, no one respects Israel anymore and the Terrorist are emboldened to carry out more Oct 7 style attacks. In the long run, this will cost more Israeli lives than just the 100 hostages. Last advice for the Israels "IT IS BETTER TO BE A BAD GUY AND HAVE A COUNTRY THAN BE A GOOD GUYS AND HAVE NO COUNTRY TO CALL YOUR OWN"
