Pretty good summary, but I would object, that "Hamas" is something like a "government" in Gaza. It's a terrorist group that took control of the Gaza territory and it's people without ever having been elected by someone (in fact, they are suppressing any kind of election since they took over the power from the Palestinian authorities). They are also using the Gaza population as "living shields" against counter strikes to their terror attacks. Nowadays they also have international hostages, which would make a counter-offensive even more difficult.
A possible - although very unlikely - solution to the conflict could be a de-radicaiisation on both sides and the Palestinians finally overthrowing the Hamas-regime and any other terrorist groups, because those are not fighting for Palestinian freedom, but for some crappy "Jihad" ideas and the destruction of Israel.
Unfortunately this will never happen…
Hamas was elected by Palestinians though.

That was almost 20 years ago. Was that the last election
A government doesn't have to be democratically elected. Even a dictatorship that came into power due to a military coup is considered a government.
As long as the Hamas control the area, they are a government.
If you check out the corresponding Wikipedia section (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_Strip#Governance) you can see, that they are considered a government.
