The US is probably the only nation that can project power into the region in an effort to challenge Israel, and that won't happen. The US will stand with Israel in order to prevent them getting back on their heels and going nuclear.

So who might come to the aid of Hamas? Russia? China?

Hezbollah, maybe, but they've been very reserved, and I think they know the US would strike them just as the US has struck sites in Syria.

Iran? How? Missiles? Maybe. But the US and Israel and maybe even both Iraq and Saudi Arabia would shoot at Iranian missiles sent towards Israel.

Iraq? No.

Saudi Arabia? If MBS wins out, no. The King, maybe, but I'm betting on Mohammed Bonesaw Salman.
