Hamas. They were involved in a protracted war with Hezbollah and ended up withdrawing from southern Lebanon without destroying the organization. Israel has 9.5 million people of which only 7.5 million (the Jewish population) is available for military service. Invading Gaza would be a urban warfare disaster for them. They'd certainly prevail but at a huge cost they cannot afford. Nor can they afford to just bomb the Gaza into submission as the casualties will bring the world opinion down on them and they depend on the world to sell their goods and feed their economy.
Israel has always and will most likely continue to operate with the status quo being the best alternative for them. They cannot eliminate the Palestinians on Gaza nor can they accept them as countrymen and keep their Jewish identity.
