> Palestinians have over the years engaged in many good faith peace talks. So has Israel > Honored their side of many cease-fire agreements. So has Israel > The status quo (before Oct 7) was pretty great for Israel and terrible for the Palestinians. The status quo was partially the result of Israel being repeatedly attacked. > Palestinians will gladly take any serious peace deal, even if that deal strongly favors Israeli interests, because the status quo is unbearable. I think that if this was the case, October 7th would not have happened, Hamas would have surrendered, and the hostages would have been returned. Having said this, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is highly complex.
