The intelligence failures are staggering on so many levels. This war has certainly proven that for some time now Hamas leadership has had no intention of anything at all involving the social, economic and cultural development of Gaza, normalized relations with Israel and other countries and a path towards statehood. The hundreds of millions of dollars wasted on the construction of tunnels.
A two state solution is possible but it will require new and courageous leadership on all sides that recognize the fundamental rights of all.
