At least we can agree on something, Hamas runs Gaza and has for almost 20 years, good.
I think you have an unrealistic expectation that bombs can't level cities in a blink of an eye, especially highly urbanized cities like Rafah or Khan Yunis.
As far as Washington goes, again, they paused shipments back in like April-May because of the Pro-Palestine wing of the party. This delayed the IDF from moving into Rafah sooner. Democrats have also called for ZERO shipments of anything additional until a Ceasefire is in place. All Ceasefire talks have been geared towards getting it done before the election, so the Dems can take a win, regardless of what the deal contains. Where was Kamala Harris when Bibi spoke at Congress? You don't think this creates a perception across the world?
Hamas has rejected multiple deals as of now and they know the longer they hold out, the hope is a stigma of Israel continuing it's campaign will sway people's minds across the globe and create a propaganda hitpiece on Israel.
40k Palestinians have died (allegedly), some 14k are Hamas terrorists. Even Washington debates the validity of the Civilian casualty numbers.
While death is an awful thing, especially to people who play no role in this (aside from electing Hamas to rule), to only lose 26k (ish) people to war in an area 3 times the size of D.C. and a population density that's crazy high, to only have like 2% casualty rate as the response is quite impressive considering the amount of bombing and flattening of cities that's taken place.
