Would there really be much support within Israel to continue the war if all the hostages were already released?

Why would something as irrelevant as hostages end a war? Start it on the other hand... Sure!
What are their goals at this point? Looks to me as an outsider like they’ve had multiple wins and should take that. Hezbollah, Syria, successful strike on Irans missile facilities, Gaza is a pile of rubble.
The goal is to eliminate Hamas, or at least prevent them for returning to rule the Gaza strip. That has not been accomplished.

Can it be?
Hamas were idiots for launching the October 7th attack. In part because they trashed any moral high ground they might have had by attacking both military and civilians. In part because they picked a fight they couldn't win. (Granted, they counted on regional support that number came.)
At what point does Israel prosecuting its own Vietnam in Gaza meet the same razor?
