Exactly. How does Israel see this ending?

Honest question:

Let's say that Hamas is defeated. They're gone.

Are Gazan's simply supposed to forget the deaths of their sons, daughters, sisters, brothers, mothers and fathers and the destruction of their homes, schools and hospitals?

Are they supposed to say "it was our own fault".

It's more likely that Israel is creating another generation of Palestinians that hold Israel reasonable for the death and destruction and understandable so from their perspective.

What is Israel's roadmap to peace here?
