I think from polling data the majority of Israelis support the war with pallestine/Netanyahu. And similarly the majority of Palestinians support Hamas and violence against Israel
That’s what makes this so difficult. If Hamas had no support it would probably be easier to deal with them
Netanyahu has become very unpopular since Oct 7, and the Israeli media has been involved in a borderline criminal level of self-censorship about the war.
Hamas does have widespread support, but at least some of that is because they’re the only game in town in Gaza, short of embracing genocide. Admittedly, because Hamas has put great effort into making sure they’re the only major player allowed to operate in Gaza.
