13. You say Israel must agree to a cease fire, but why only Israel?

Shouldn't HAMAs, Hizbollah agree to a cease fire?
And what about Iran, they are, after all, the main financer and weapons supplier to most of the terrorist orgs. in the ME?
How about they stop backing these terrorists and make peace with Israel?
My point is that this isn't all Israel, not by a long shot, Israel could agree to a cease fire tomorrow, but what's to say that the other actors in this drama will abide by that cease fire?
And what's to say that Iran will stop supplying these actors?
