Believe it or not, before Hamas attacked Israel, a lot of Israel were open to a two state solution. Admittedly, not sure that's still the case but I agree that there is zero chance with Hamas in control.

Identifying the biggest obstacle is not just about identifying any obstacle and calling it the biggest. If Israel is unwilling to consider a two state solution, they’re the biggest obstacle, because they hold all the power.
I get that people want to position Israel as this helpless victim that is beholden to the whims of Hamas, but we’ve pretty clearly seen that isn’t remotely close to the truth. Countries are trying to negotiate a two-state solution without Hamas at the table, that should tell you just about how significant of an obstacle they are.
It’s great that Israelis were supportive of a two-state solution ten years ago. But that doesn’t really help us today.
