There can be a one- or two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict or there will be a genocide, whether slow or fast, and ongoing regional instability.
Those are the only real options and everybody involved knows that, but the West and the Netanyahu government decided they would simply ignore the Palestinian side of the equation.

Netanyahu has no desire for peace and was content with the brutal status quo of ongoing violence in Gaza and the West Bank, the resulting radicalization of some Palestinians, and the ongoing security threat to Israeli civilians that created.
In fact, Netanyahu enabled Hamas in order to keep Palestinians politically divided and the West chose to keep quiet and look the other way, at least until Hamas did what Hamas was always going to do.
