Why not?

In The Washington Post ...

Opinion: Netanyahu reached a cease-fire with Hezbollah. Why not with Hamas? by Max Boot

Short answer ...

Hezbollah did not invade Israel and rape, torture, muder, and kidnap more than 1000 Israelis, including children and the elderly. And Hezbollah does not still have 101 Israeli hostages in its grip. And Hezbollah will be behind an almost 20 mile buffer zone - the land between Israel and the Litani river.

But maybe more to the point, with the ceasefire with Hezbollah, Israel has guarantees it can go back in and resume the fight in Lebanon if Hezbollah does anything squirrely. But it's probable that once Israel stopped the war in Gaza and left, that the condemnation of the international community would make it almost impossible for Israel to return and resume the fighting.
