making solid progress with Saudi Arabia and others Arab nations toward a Two-State Solution for the Palestinians, along with a 'Mutual Defense' Pact between the USA/SA...Then the Iran-backed Hamas attack happened. (see...https://www.brookings.edu/articles/making-sense-of-a-proposed-us-saudi-deal/...)
Peace can be achieved, and should be pursued, so long as it involves a Two-State Solution for the Palestinians and Israelis...right now, there are, according to Thomas Friedman, three road blocks that must be cleared away...and they involve three 'Regime Changes'...as described in his NYT Opinion piece (...https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/16/opinion/israel-iran-gaza.html...)...1) PLA leadership change away from Abbas to one of many capable alternatives...2) Replacement of Netanyahu with a moderate, favoring the Two State Solution (they exist)...and 3) Iran Regime change...not likely anytime soon, but not impossible.
Israel is critical to U.S. Security in that sector of the world...plain and simple...but that link is at risk if we stiff arm the Arab nations, which is what Netanyahu and Trump are trying to do...to the delight of Vladimir Putin.

Trying to paint ALL Palestinians as Hamas extremists is flat out wrong. Also, the Biden admin. was
