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.

If you were Israel, would you be interested in a two-state solution right now? If it were me, I would not be negotiating a two-state solution while a terrorist group is the government of that potential second state. It would not matter to me if the terrorists were sitting at the negotiating table or not.
Terrorists are eliminated, and not governing Gaza, now let’s talk.
