    I think it is possible. Fatah seem willing to play ball, so the ball is largely in Israel’s court now. But if Israel keeps responding to Palestinian extremism by killing regular citizens, it’s not going to happen. This war has drastically delayed any potential for a two state solution, so it could be decades before either side is willing to come to the table again.

      What else should they do? Conduct suicide missions into Gaza to get the terrorists “without killing civilians” (there would still be many casualtys among civilians, especially because Hamas uses them as shield)

      Just let the terrorists do whatever they want?

        Idk, I’m not a general. Maybe their strategy is their best option.

        But that’s irrelevant. What matters is that people on the ground are dying and they blame Israel. Whatever meager trust that may have existed is absolutely gone. So a two state solution isn’t going to work because people in Gaza won’t want to come to the table because they won’t trust Israel.

          100% agreement. But, the people of Israel don’t want to sit to a table anymore either, at least right now.

            Sure. They have an urgency to eliminate Hamas, and they’re unlikely to agree to any kind of agreement that doesn’t involve Hamas leadership being removed, and I doubt the people of Gaza have any kind of ability or will to deliver them to the Israeli military.

              Yes. That’s the problem, and people in the west being antisemitic and supporting the terrorists doesn’t make it better for anyone. It just makes Israel not listen to the west anymore, if it was up to the Israeli military there wouldn’t be a Gaza anymore, USA UK and EU are literally the only thing holding back their military from just making a Glass Desert. The situation is so Tense that its basically not solvable with words. And using weapons will result in a gigantic humanitarian Desaster, worse than its already.
