That’s definitely a start. Unfortunately, just swapping Netenyahu out with someone less extreme wouldn’t get Hamas to stop their attacks. It wouldn’t cause the people on both sides to feel safe enough to trust in a peace process and to forgive past actions.
There are a lot of factors in play and the solution to this, if there is one, is going to be very complicated and difficult to achieve. It will be worth it, but it won’t be easy.

I mean Hamas already agreed to stop their attacks in ceasefires before (see: 2008 and 2012 ceasefires). It was then Netenyahu who didn’t lift the blockade, therefore not holding Israel’s end of the agreements. It was also Netenyahu who stopped the peace process in 1995 because he’s Netenyahu.
This is what I meant by just needs someone who isn’t Netenyahu. Hamas has proven that they’re willing to engage in dialogue, despite what’s written in their charter. It’s Netenyahu who doesn’t want that, so he’s basically acting as a barrier between both sides and peace.
You are defending a group who as part of their founding charter calls for the extermination of all Jews on earth not just in Israel. You are at best wildly ignorant on this subject if not dishonest.
You would also need someone on the Palestinian side that the Israelis would trust to keep their word and not attack. That trust just isn’t there and will be difficult to rebuild.
I’m not completely disagreeing with you. The illegal settlements need to go. I’d like to see any illegal settlements responded to by having a special group of Israeli police, working with Palestinian authorities and not just moving in on their own, arresting the settlers instead of the military moving in to protect them.
There’s also the outside influence to consider. Evangelical Christians love the settlers. They help them and any politicians who would protect them. They’d work against a politician who promised to arrest them.

I made easily provable statements and can provide sources on them. If you have proof that anything I said is wrong, you’re welcome to provide it.
You get someone who stops the illegal settlement expansion and gives the land back.
