This analysis has many interesting points. Haas argues that a Palestinian state is less of a threat to Israel because it will have an incentive to rein in terrorism while currently violence is an outlet for a people who are stateless with little hope of having a state. That argument makes sense to me. The counter argument would be that what if a newly formed Palestine state elects a Hamas govt that does not rein it in and the violence continues.

Idiotic take.
We had a Palestinian state 2005-2025. It promoted terrorism and was a major security risk for Israel.
As long as the Palestinian people want to fight, whatever government they have will always have an incentive to fight Israel or be replaced by a group who will.

People who on paper who support a two state solution but then write essays say a one state solution will somehow be inevitable baffle me.
A one state solution (and the status quo) being unviable in basically any possible world is why anyone would support a two state solution to start with.
And yes a Palestinian state is the best longterm solution for the conflict but only one with strong meaningful security guarantees.

At this point, even that hippie „One Secular, Multicult, State“ looks more realist, sorry.
