Considering it wasn't a return of all of the hostages and additionally Hamas said they intend to repeat the terrorist attack that sparked this, what motivation does Netanyahu have to stop until Hamas is destroyed?

That Hamas did was abhorrent, as was the response of Israel.

What motivation do Hamas have to just take the current occupation of Gaza and living in such a way? Genuinely curious.

This just seems like nobody will win and everybody will suffer. For what?

For what?

To keep the wheels of the military industrial complex turning

Well, lucky for him he didn't even entertain the ceasefire to see if he could have gotten them all back.

According to random sources that may or may not be lying.

The deal that went off was before that statement by Hamas.

Hamas has been making such statements for years They want Israel off the map. Even the Hamas Charter of 1988 put this desire onto paper.

Wanting an occupying force off the map shouldn't come as a shock to anyone, since Israel should have never existed (I'm for a one joint state solution where Palestinians get freedom and rights too but it's not too hard for me to understand Hamas' "radical" idea).
