Let me know if you want the article content reposted here

The key to me is the usa forcing Israel to give a concession like stopping all new settlements to a peaceful organization to prove its viability.

There were no and have been no settlements in Gaza for nearly two decades at this point?

Arguably Israel deciding to unilaterally disengage from Gazan settlements incorrectly led to a huge jump in support away from Fatah and towards Hamas in 2006, since the pullback was incorrectly assumed to be because of the Hamas's militancy

Building the wall around gaza and salami slicing the west Bank is not concessions, cmon.

You’re messing with the timeline here on Gaza. Israel pulled out completely in 2004. That was a major concession. Gazans responded by electing an organization that swore to get rid of all Jews in Palestine.
