There are undoubtedly many Israelis that want Peace, PM Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu certainly isn't one. He faces an ongoing trial and a decent prison sentence when this War is over so in the interests of
self preservation he wants this War to continue indefinitely. Israeli newspaper,
Haaretz has been particularly critical of Netanyahu's administration and have offered the same conclusion.
Netanyahu helped make Hamas stronger while trying to minimize the legitimate Fatah Party/Palestinian Authority. Hamas after a slim victory in 2006 strongarmed Fatah/PA out of Gaza completely
In 2018 the Israeli Basic Law passed by a very slim margin, 53% of the Knesset vote which immediately
removed Arabic as an official language and turned
Israel into an
Ethno-State

Many non Israelis don't even know this law was passed 5 years ago.
It allows for legal subjugation of the 2.1 million Arabs that live freely in Israel and comprise 21% of the total population. Not all of these folks are Palestinian or Muslim. Now they feel like second class citizens. Imagine how citizens of the West Bank let alone Gaza feel if free Arabs in Israel now feel second class.
While 360,000 Israelis were called up as IDF reservists for the War on Hamas in Gaza, 32 year old Yair Netanyahu lives in Miami and cannot possibly return to fight as he is in the process of getting USA citizenship
The wealthy and powerful always get other people's children to fight their Wars that their decisions enabled and led towards.
