Let’s go with option #2…if Israel ceased to exist, would there be peace in the Middle East? Would everyone just decide to get along?
Hamas attacks Israel

How many Hamas still exist to fight as Hamas or does Israel need to float the idea they exist to continue to destroy Gazan infrastructure?
3. Or until the Govts of both pull their arrogant heads out their asses.
Gospel according to Peter 6.66
"33 hostages for 40 days and nights of ceasefire decreed the Lord "
Everything evil ever done on this planet will be blamed on Israel no problem. Won't matter who is actually responsible, Israel MUST take the blame for all the ills of the world.Long term. Short term though, will Hamas agree to a reprieve for Gaza before Israel steps up and onto Rafah? If not, will Hamas shoulder any blame or will this be fully on Israel?
The latest proposal, which Israel “helped” craft but has not fully agreed to, (???) is laid out in two phases, the first of which calls for 20 to 33 hostages to be released over several weeks in exchange for the pause and the release of Palestinian prisoners.
The second phase is what sources described as the “restoration of sustainable calm,” (???) during which the remaining hostages, captive Israeli soldiers and the bodies of hostages would be exchanged for more Palestinian prisoners.
The diplomatic source familiar with the talks said the reference to sustainable calm was “a way to agree to a permanent ceasefire without calling it that.”
After months of deadlock, agreement from both sides would be a major step toward ending the war. But a failure to agree could deepen Israel’s presence in Gaza — if no deal is made, Israel is likely to launcha large-scale ground invasion into the southern Gaza city of Rafah.
The length of the first phase of the pause in hostilities would be linked to the number of hostages released, with the latest framework calling for a one-day pause for each hostage, the Israeli source said, although this number is expected to shift during more in-depth negotiations.
Hamas to consider ceasefire-hostage release proposal that Israeli sources say could avert Rafah invasion — CNN
Hamas is considering a new framework proposed by Egypt that calls for the group to release as many as 33 hostages kidnapped from Israel in exchange for a pause in hostilities in Gaza, an Israeli source familiar with the negotiations and a foreign diplomatic source told CNN.apple.news
The release of 40 hostages for a six-week ceasefire had been the basis of negotiations for months, but Israel has agreed to accept fewer hostages in the first phase after Hamas dropped its offer to fewer than 20 people earlier this month.
“The only thing standing between the people of Gaza and cease-fire is Hamas,” Blinken added. “They have to decide, and they have to decide quickly.”
Pretty much following the example of the Christians.
Or other Muslims just of a different sect.
I mean, there's how many different Islamic sects? And how many of them are small because of the demand to get rid of them by the larger two?
No one would give a shit anymore; business as usual, Muslims killing Muslims. You might hear about it on a slow news day.
I’m betting on at least 2 for 1….meaning the 20 surviving hostages that fit the parameters (women, children, elderly, wounded) that Hamas can find for 40 days ceasefire in the initial stage.
Then Hamas will start swapping others & corpses to extend it into a “permanent” ceasefire until Hamas breaks it again.
Hamas doesn't want a 2 state solution either. They want it all!
