A war is not over until the last combatant is either dead or lays down his arms, followed by terms of surrender. Otherwise, Hamas will raise its ugly head again, and then we are back at square one. How can the UAE get Hamas to lay down their arms and release the hostages? So far, Hamas only answers to Iran, who supports them, arms them, and funds them through various means, which is not a secret. Islamists are very honest about their intention to eventually destroy the one tiny Jewish State of Israel.
