I think Israel probably believes that’s what they’ve been doing for the last fifteen years or so. Degrading and monitoring Hamas, so that they can’t do anything serious to Israel. The problem with that strategy is that: i) it also generates pushback; and ii) if you screw it up, and end up missing a capability they develop, it can be catastrophic.
Only if you’re indifferent as to who wins. Iran, for example, wants Hamas to win - they want Hamas to destroy Israel if they can, and damage/draw resources away if they can’t. That’s why Iran provides Hamas with material support and resources.
Historically, the U.S. has wanted Israel to be able to defend itself against Hamas and Hezbollah and any other regional aggressors. We can always stop taking action towards that goal, but one of the consequences is that those other parties might have a better chance at actually destroying Israel, over the intermediate- to long-term.
