That's the kind of extreme hypothetical that Israel uses to insure peace never comes. What Hamas would have to offer after the Palestinians gained a viable state of their own would be exactly nothing.

The vast majority of Palestinians, would if need be, fight them if they tried to impose a dictatorship.

If Israel maintains its current immoral and brutal occupation, they risk radicalizing Palestinians to the point where Hamas or ISIS or whatever fundamentalist group solidly gains the upper hand. That is what Israel should be concerned about.
