The IEA never attacked US soil nor had anything to do with 9/11. Al-Qaeda operated in Afghanistan the same way Northern Alliance and Hezb-e-Islam factions and other groups operated in Afghanistan. Afghan Taliban simply didn't control all of Afghanistan or whatever went on inside it by different actors.
Invading Afghanistan did nothing to actually prosecute or eliminate the persons behind 9/11. Anyone with a brain can predict that AQ leaders would simply leave the country when NATO invaded, which is what they did. You don't need to invade and occupy Afghanistan in order to eliminate said leaders, whether they be hiding in Afghanistan, Pakistan or elsewhere. Targeted drone strikes or special operations could do that, which is what the US ultimately had to do.
9/11 wasn't reliant on IEA or Afghanistan at all. The hijackers were from elsewhere and did their flight training in the US! Had the attack happened like a decade later, it's unlikely anyone would get away with suggesting an invasion of an entire country in response. Attacks like that only need international phonecalls, emails or internet to be conducted. That includes the 1995 bombing in KSA, the 1998 bombing in Kenya and Tanzania, and the 2000 bombing in Yemen.
AQ operatives were located across the world. Their attacks weren't staged from nor reliant on one central location at all.

What you're saying is very reductionist and inaccurate. Hamas aren't very eschatological. They're also not the only ones fighting. There's PIJ, and Marxist groups like PFLP and DFLP fighting too.
Hamas has been open to and actively conducted talks with the US and Israel, but it's Israel that wants total surrender by Hamas and to continue genociding Gazans because nobody's stopping them but plenty aiding it. That's why they've broken every past ceasefire and refuse to end the war. At this point even if Hamas surrendered there's no guarantee that Israel will stop. So they see no point surrendering.
