Many Palestinians would probably be happy for recognition of state I imagine but Hamas very likely would not. It's currently a convenient excuse for them but if it happened I highly doubt they would stop trying to lob missiles over the border and be a peaceful neighbour, even if Israel stopped trying to steal land.

Not saying it shouldn't happen but it's not some magical solution like many seem to think.

Israel has been building settlements in the West Bank for years. To say nothing of their bombings in Lebanon. They are a state that consistently does not respect borders.

If they didn't stop they would lose all support. They've explicitly said they'd accept a Palestinian state with the 1969 borders or a single state solution with rights for everyone.

At the end of the day though, those are also just the best solutions. Genocide certainly ain't it.
