it won’t be a thing in the foreseeable future and the good will and sympathy that the people in Gaza had with many Israeli probably suffered a lot as well.
Does goodwill that doesn't translate into action even matter? I mean the only time they elected a guy who was willing to solve the whole thing he was assassinated and Netanyahu came in his place. This is like saying the Irish lost the British's sympathy because of the troubles, which is like yeah I guess but unless that goodwill generates action it doesn't matter. Important historical context here is that Israel never came to the negotiation table without use of force by Palestinians. Even the Oslo accords only came by because of the first intifada.
That is to say, Hamas's approach doesn't have good odds of success, but it's good a much better shot than whatever the PNA is doing in the West Bank, and Israel has created a situation where only these two options exist.
