The few names I have seen floated would be caretakers at best and just as beholding to the far right, "No Two State Solution, No Way!" groups that have stymied any real progress and gotten Israel into this no win situation and seem perfectly happy with an ongoing war stance. They need an energetic and charismatic leader that can speak logic and sense and get them out of this increasingly vicious cycle of tit for tat violence. I appreciate Biden trying to talk sense into Bibi but unless we are willing to basically blackmail Bibi and Israel with no more aid and no more diplomatic cover until you seriously sit down and in good faith negotiate a two state solution, nothing is going to change.

As the IDF is basically bulldozing and bombing Gaza into a parking lot, the recent ideas floated by a number of Israeli politicians to have many other countries agree to each take some number of Palestinian refugees, a strategy is becoming clear. While some accuse Israel of genocide, the real goal may be more we will so disperse the Palestinians that 1) they aren't close enough to hurt us and 2) they will lose coherence as a people over time. For the average Palestinians part, if they find a foreign country to take them, they may not have much choice than to go. Economically and in all key infrastructure Gaza is moving quickly to being totally or at least functionally destroyed. It is doubtful many nations will want to pony up money to try much rebuilding Gaza and even if they do, the Israelis know how to keep things so locked down there is no real hope of a life with economic or other opportunity. At best it will be a welfare refugee camp again.

move Palestinians into that space until Gaza can be rebuilt for them. Yes, I know it will not happen, but Israel has stolen that land. Why should they get to keep it?

...or ill conceived to get to where it is today. The Israelis won't change/move with just talking as long as we otherwise support and shield them. And the Palestinians won't stop spinning out groups that undertake episodic and increasingly violent attacks and other unrest. A current political and regional Gordian Knot.

Hamas attack happened. And there has been evidence we've read about on DU, and that we've heard on the news, that he knew about it in advance.
