Not a chance. The Israeli religious right has gained too much power so there goes a two state solution, never mind one state. Groups like Hamas are never going to stop even though they have no hope of winning.
Nobody here seems to wonder why Arab countries will not allow Palestinians to emigrate to their countries or wonder why there are still refugee camps after 75 years. Egypt didn't want Gaza back and Jordan didn't want the West Bank. They were both satisfied to be rid of them.
No, the situation is now hopeless unless you are one of those people whose plan spans hundreds of years (such as the Kurds) and the rest of us sit here shaking our heads and spitting on each other.
