Civilian hostages that are being raped and tortured for their sick pleasure are not "bargaining chips" any more than criminals kidnapping your female family members and then raping them until you pay up to make it stop.  There were no IDF in Gaza on October 6th.   Hamas have turned down every single offer of a 2 state solution.  They are not interested in 2 states, they just want to kill jews.   This will continue this savagery until Israel puts them down which they could do in a day if they actually desired to commit genocide.  Perhaps you should look up what word actually means (you do not) as you seem to be confusing it with "making every possible effort to kill terrorists and not civilians despite said civilians being used as human shields by aforementioned terrorists".   

The hostages are the only thing keeping Israel from completely decimating what's left of Palestine. This genocide (and I do know what it means) has been going on for over 70 years. 

There may not have been any IDF in what was left of Gaza until after Oct 7, but there have been many, many military incursions into Palestinian land, including Gaza, over the past 70 years.  See the maps below to see what's been happening...
