However, many analysts remain pessimistic after five months of stop-start talks that have frequently broken down

That would be nice but Palestinians never get a seat at the table when it comes to talks about things in the region. They were left out of the Abraham accords which was meant to normalize relations in the region with Israel and they'll be left out of this because Israel wants to keep being able to steam roll them. Not let them have any kind of platform or position to be able to negotiate.
And yet Israel is negotiating with Hamas?..
Yeah because that legitimizes Hamas and let's them keep using the reasoning that their cleansing of Gaza is to go after Hamas. Letting a terrorist group have a platform just makes them look better cause they can keep going see how bad these guys are, we have to kill everyone there to get rid of them.
We can support Palestinian people without devolving into leftwing conspiracism.
What part of that is conspiracy? Israel is using Hamas as justification for their genocide in the region. If Israel negotiated with the people of Gaza (in whatever form that would take) rather than Hamas it would invalidate what they've been doing. Negotiating with Hamas continues projecting the false image that they're after just the terrorists when they're pretty clearly going after civilians as well.
And if Israel and Hamas come to an agreement, do you admit you are wrong?
Nothing I said above says there won't be an agreement. I could see an agreement happening especially with the situation in the US and the ICJ considering warrants. That doesn't change why they negotiate with Hamas and not the people.
Does it matter who they negotiate with if it ends up stopping the war and saving lives?
Yeah israel is "negotiating" out of free will and not because Hamas had to kidnap hundreds of people to get them at the negotiating table.
