If I were Israel (as in, the whole govt of the country) and I wanted to act in good faith to resolve the Gaza situation, here’s what I would do:
Find Palestinians to manage an interim govt (that is friendly to Israel), and recognise+empower them.
Seize parts of Gaza (this part is already done) and transfer control to said govt. Lift the seige on the parts of Gaza that are controlled by the friendly govt (a necessary precursor to repairing their economy and recognising their sovereignty without being in a permanent state of war with them).
With support from the friendly govt, push out the rest of Hamas territory
Spend a bunch of money rebuilding Palestine’s economy and rebuilding relations with them.
Keep doing that a while and then negotiate in good faith, since you’ve clearly demonstrated good faith.

If I were Israel (as in, the whole govt of the country) and I wanted to act in good faith to resolve the Gaza situation, here’s what I would do:
This is annexing Palestine. And installing a government by force. Hamas has sufficient support as to where that would not work in all likelihood.
I think that’s likely to be the best bet as well. Decisive action, even if against the international law, is probably better than the status quo.
