How can I refactor this code having multiple if-else?

I have a class with many "if else". I don't know how i can refactor it. I think about Factory Pattern, but i don't know how implement it. Anyone help me?

    @Override
    public Predicate toPredicate(@NotNull Root<E> root, @NotNull CriteriaQuery<?> cq, @NotNull CriteriaBuilder cb) {

        List<Predicate> predicates = new ArrayList<>();

        for (SearchCriteria criteria : criteriaList) {
            if (criteria.getValue() == null) {
                predicates.add(cb.isTrue(cb.literal(true)));
            } else if (criteria.getOperation().equals(GREATER_THAN)) {
                predicates.add(cb.greaterThan(root.get(criteria.getKey()).as(criteria.getKey().getClass()), criteria.getValue().toString()));
            } else if (criteria.getOperation().equals(LESS_THAN)) {
                predicates.add(cb.lessThan(root.get(criteria.getKey()).as(criteria.getKey().getClass()), criteria.getValue().toString()));
            } else if (criteria.getOperation().equals(GREATER_THAN_EQUAL)) {
                predicates.add(cb.greaterThanOrEqualTo(root.get(criteria.getKey()).as(criteria.getKey().getClass()), criteria.getValue().toString()));
            } else if (criteria.getOperation().equals(LESS_THAN_EQUAL)) {
                predicates.add(cb.lessThanOrEqualTo(root.get(criteria.getKey()).as(criteria.getKey().getClass()), criteria.getValue().toString()));
            } else if (criteria.getOperation().equals(NOT_EQUAL)) {
                predicates.add(cb.notEqual(root.get(criteria.getKey()).as(criteria.getKey().getClass()), criteria.getValue()));
            } else if (criteria.getOperation().equals(EQUAL)) {
                predicates.add(cb.equal(root.get(criteria.getKey()).as(criteria.getKey().getClass()), criteria.getValue()));
            } else if (criteria.getOperation().equals(MATCH)) {
                predicates.add(cb.like(cb.lower(root.get(criteria.getKey())), "%" + criteria.getValue().toString().toLowerCase() + "%"));
            } else if (criteria.getOperation().equals(MATCH_END)) {
                predicates.add(cb.like(cb.lower(root.get(criteria.getKey())), criteria.getValue().toString().toLowerCase() + "%"));
            } else if (criteria.getOperation().equals(MATCH_START)) {
                predicates.add(cb.like(cb.lower(root.get(criteria.getKey())), "%" + criteria.getValue().toString().toLowerCase()));
            } else if (criteria.getOperation().equals(IN)) {
                predicates.add(cb.in(root.get(criteria.getKey())).value(criteria.getValue()));
            } else if (criteria.getOperation().equals(NOT_IN)) {
                predicates.add(cb.not(root.get(criteria.getKey())).in(criteria.getValue()));
            }
        }
        return cb.and(predicates.toArray(Predicate[]::new));
    }
