Do you realise most Palestinians living in the west bank prefer an even more radical political party ? Hamas is progressive for Palestine.
This is the exact opposite of the truth.
Hamas was formed because they believed the Abbas-led government was too secular and willing to work with Israel. Hamas wants to create a hardline Muslim caliphate.
I gave the polls, you can look at the Fatah party to see how popular the Abbas led government is. Historically you are right, but right now Palestinians are not looking for peaceful solutions. I think Israel made them understand that they would be slowly annexed.
Edit: also I’d recommend reading the two state section of the Wikipedia article on Hamas.
I mean, at this point, they don’t really have any self determination, so it doesn’t change anything.
In the end, all this conflict is going to end up with Israel taking even more land away from the Gaza strip regardless of how many Palestinians are further slummed into the south, and the 24/7 news cycle will make a transient hub-bub about it, and then the new borders will become the status quo.

This is incredibly unfortunate for them

Your first paragraph is correct. Your second is not.
