If Hamas surrendered unconditionally and the attacks stopped, at the very least, Israel would lose their casus beli and with it, all international support/tolerance for further military actions and settlements. In fact, the only way that Hamas and subsequently the Palestinians can "win" is if they do in fact surrender. Without international support, they are doomed.
It's true that there is a terrible humanitarian situation among the civilian population, but until they (the leaders) choose to be a direct partner in peace, they can't claim victim status.
