They're fast tracking building more settlements rather than slowly but surely. And Ben G'Vir wants to resettle Gaza as well.

Yes, without intervention this will drag on and only get worse. Israel build the Netzarim corridor, splitting Gaza in half, connecting to the US pier on the other side. Easy access for the military and whatever long term plans Israel has for the floating port. (Which still hasn't received any aid, it's mid May now)

On the other side, as long as Israel keeps up the occupation, recruiting new militants will be easier than ever. 17,000 orphans and many others that have lost everything else to live for. And with tons of unexploded ordnance laying around (about 10% fails to detonate) they have access to years of supplies for more rockets and IEDs.

The only way out is ending the war asap, military out, peace keeping forces in, flood Gaza with aid, start rebuilding and let the Palestinians form their own government of hope, pushing out Hamas politically. End the occupation of the West Bank, halt new Settlements, remove the recently established ones and crack down on militant Settlers. As well as end the apartheid, military courts, administrative detention and free the Palestinian prisoners / hostages from the brutal Israeli detention centers.

It seems an insurmountable task, yet the alternative is another Oct 7, likely an even bigger horrific event.

Israel needs new elections and recognize Palestinians as human beings. Stop the dehumanization, on both sides. Best would be if schools in Israel start teaching Arabic and schools in Gaza/West Bank Hebrew as a second language. The people need to live together and the language barrier only leads to dehumanization. In the end Israel/Palestine has to become a bilingual nation, safe for both Jews and Muslims. Then it can become one of the most progressive combined nations, two people united through overcoming the worst historic events people have had to endure.

It will be a long process, taking multiple generations. Yet you have to start with the young, hence start with schools teaching respect and understanding both ways.

First Biden needs to get his fingers out of his ass and end this war. He has the power to stop Netanyahu. If not, he will let Netanyahu drag the USA down with him. China and Iran are already getting more vocal and are ready to get more power over the Middle East. The weaker Netanyahu makes the USA, the more brazen Iran, China and Russia get. And don't wait too long, Netanyahu is ready to invade Lebanon as well and Egypt is losing its patience with Israel.
