Any solution to the Israel-Hamas War requires realism.

7. Netanyahu is explicitly against a two state solution

Support for a two state solution used to be majority among Palestinians, but has declined (disillusioned?), but the Palestian Authority still backs it:

Gallup polling conducted between July and September this year (before the latest war began) found just 24 per cent of Palestinians would support a two state solution. That’s a massive collapse in support since 2012, when the figure was around 60 per cent.

Another pollster, the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research, did manage to carry out a survey in November and December this year as the war unfolded. Those results found that 35 per cent of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip support a two state solution.

Despite the apparent lack of popular support for a two state solution, the leader of the Palestinian Authority – which controls the West Bank but not Gaza – Mahmoud Abbas, has recently repeated his desire for one. The UK and the US also say that this is their preferred outcome.
