Hamas, which does not value the lives of Gaza civilians, stop hoarding food, medicine, and fuel for themselves at the expense of the people of Gaza? Where are the protests about Hamas stealing humanitarian aid for themselves? Why isn't the world demanding that Hamas stop storing munitions in civilian facilities?

Hamas is committing war crimes and ignoring humanitarian values. Israel is not alone in the need to be mindful of humanitarian needs. So why is Hamas also not bring held accountable?

"and will reserve the right to launch incursions at will."

You mean, like, when Hamas attacks and murders Israelis in their homes and at a concert? Stopping aggressive attacks against Israel, releasing the hostages, etc., will give Israel the "opportunity" to stop their attacks. Now, if Israel were to continue attacking, after Hamas stops, well, then you'd have an argument to make. Not so much, right now.

Hamas march out away from the civilian population and fight Israel? Why don't you ever criticize Hamas? Hmmm, curious.
