If you were playing Jared Kushner for a moment, what would you do exactly?
For a two-state solution to work, I strongly believe Hamas can't be in a position of any power. Because it fundamentally does not want a two-state solution, and has shown it will act accordingly. The PLA at least seem to aspire to something better than today.
Ignoring all the things you simply cannot change today, what do you propose for Israel to do? Get everyone together at a neutral venue, say somewhere like Camp David, with a process brokered by world powers. And who represents Gaza? Where do you believe the lines can be drawn that will satisfy Hamas?
And if Israel agreed to, say, the lines set out in the 2000 agreement, would that be enough? Would that be fair, given the land the Palestinians gave up almost a hundred years ago?
There are no answers imo. My whole life this has been the meme before memes of an unresolvable conflict. A sad, disgraceful affair that the majority of both Western and Arab countries prefer to ignore. Well, this week Hamas has ensured that it's not being ignored. But will its actions lead to a situation that is better than last week? I just can't see a world where that does. And hence, my view that Hamas should take the majority of blame for this particular escalation.
