Thank you, sir, for your question.
Support in Israel for a two-state solution has fallen over the years, and especially since October 7. Part of the reason is that on October 7, Hamas murdered many of the supporters of a two-state solution. Many of the victims of the massacre were peace activists who would drive Palestinian children to hospitals in Israel. They were burned alive on October 7. Israelis have unfortunately come to the conclusion that any territorial withdrawal would lead to the creation of another Iranian puppet state, and that a withdrawal, far from advancing the cause of peace, would in fact serve as a possibility for the Palestinians to use a springboard towards their ultimate goal of the destruction of the State of Israel.
When you see even so-called moderate leaders on the Palestinian side saying that Hamas is an integral part of the Palestinian movement, and that if there were elections they would gladly cede control to Hamas, and you see them mourning the death of Yahya Sinwar, all of their behaviour has convinced Israelis that on the other side we do not have a partner for peace, because their ultimate goal is the destruction of the State of Israel, and that any concessions would in fact be exploited to advance that ultimate goal of the destruction of the State of Israel and would push peace further away rather than bringing it forward. I would hope that—
