"There is, at the end of the day, only one relationship that Israel cannot afford to lose: the United States. And they’re in no danger of doing so."
Unfortunately, this is now a long-term danger, which should be a motivating force for Israel to address the Hamas problem once and for all *right now.*
I honestly don't know there is any right answer for this. People smarter than me have been trying to figure that out for longer than I've been alive. I say we put an offer on the table for all comers, to relocate one side to Wyoming, and the other to Montana. They get their own reservations. Reservations are already everywhere. Alternatively, pressure the Mormons to give up some of Utah. They already think this is the original homeland of the Jews and Palestinians anyway.
At the very least, it would cost less lives and probably less money than our current strategy.
What it is depends on what the plan is for afterward. See Ross Barkan's recent piece - what is the plan for afterward? More of the same? That's how we got here. As he says - where is the Marshall Plan for Gaza?

Winning a war isn’t genocide, but genocide is genocide. I’ve unsubscribed from your genocide-apologist rag.

It's a great story, the unfortunate part is it's wearing a bit thin, like too little butter scraped over too much bread. 🤷
