Hamas has exactly the same conflict of interest as Likud: Keeping the war going and creating suffering for “their” side helps drive support from their fellow countrymen who by and large don’t like them otherwise, and kind of want to get rid of them.
I won’t say that there’s a direct similarity but they both have reasons to reject peace proposals and keep the slaughter going, to the detriment of “their side.”
Hamas’ reason for their attack on October was very likely to blow up the negotiations between Israel and other Arab countries to normalize diplomatic relations. Even if they also wanted the conflict to legitimize themselves in front of Gazans, I doubt Gazans need any more bombs to fall upon their heads to get the message.
I don’t think it’s impossible for them to tense the cord and try and get more out of the negotiations, but they don’t really have anything to gain from extending the hostilities.
