"We.. reaffirm our adherence to our demands and the national demands of our people; with a permanent ceasefire, the withdrawal of the occupation army from the entire Gaza Strip, the return of the displaced to their areas and places of residence, intensification of the entry of relief and aid, and the start of reconstruction," the Islamist faction said.

Not a single one of those seems unreasonable in the slightest and I can't see why any of them should be withdrawn.

Because if they were serious about negotiating they would give on some points, the same goes for the Israeli government. Tbh to me it seems like neither Hamas nor the Israeli government has any interest in a ceasefire or pause or whatever you want to call it. This ongoing conflict serves their individual power agendas well.

What should they give?

Maybe they can accept a temporary ceasefire so Israel can continue later in the year?

Maybe they can let Israel stay in their land to continue to murder them?

Maybe they can let their people remain displaced and not allowed into their land?

Maybe they can let aid continue to be stifled so they starve?

Maybe they can postpone reconstruction and live in ruble to die of disease?

What should they give?

I don't know, I'm not a political or diplomatic expert. But they took a bunch of hostages, made demands that they know will never be met by the Israeli government and won't move away from them. On the other hand the Israeli government has been shitting on them for years, invaded their territory, makes impossible demands, and won't move away from them either. Neither of them is right. But from the outside it doesn't look like either party is really interested in a ceasefire.

Note my comment is not about which party is morally right. An issue I, by the way, don't really feel equipped to give a definite answer to either. But suffice to say I don't sympathise with the murder of civilians neither by the IDF nor by Hamas.

Neither is right? Your the kinda person who'd look at the Warsaw uprising and say they shouldn't of resorted to violence.
