I have to admit I am surprised by the demonstrations in Israel demanding a deal to release the remaining hostages. What is the "deal" Hamas has put forth to return the hostages? If it is 'stop shooting'... sure. sounds like it might work. If it is 'return all jailed Palestinian people jailed in Israel' probably not a reasonable thing to ask. Isn't the stated goal of Hamas 'death to Jews and return all Israel lands to Palestine'? But these demonstrators in Israel demanding this deal think there is a deal to be made? hm. Maybe Hamas could change their stated goals slightly? Peace. Maybe a 2 state solution. The whole 'death to Israel' just doesn't sound like they are ready for a deal. /sarcasm_off
There will never be a "2 state solution" in Israel for the simple reason that Hamas / Palestinians / Iran will NEVER accept Israel to have a rightful claim to the land it is on (even though Jews have been in Israel continuously for 3500 years). So, if one side demands unconditional surrender of all the land, how can the other side ever agree to share land with them knowing they will continuously be attacked? There will be ONE state in the end and that will be the state with the greatest military power

Bingo. That was the whole point of my comment.
