I would like to see a two-state solution, but I think we are much more likely to see annexation of the West Bank to Israel. There is some chance Donald Trump somehow becomes the peace maker of the century, but I wouldn't hold my breath. It is likely that much of Gaza is annexed for settlements as well unless something meaningfully changes.

We can check on these prediction in a year or so. Because we cannot prove anything about the future now.

I think we understand fully where we are each coming from.

Yes.

I don't think a two-state solution is likely, definitely not anytime soon. My one big hope is that, whether because of Trump's pressure or not, we manage to get a combined ceasefire + hostage deal + Saudi Arabia normalization + genuine path to a two-state solution (which the Saudis have said is a precondition for normalization).

Do I think it's likely? Not very. I don't think annexation of the West Bank is likely either. But as you said, who knows?
