    Bear in mind the disclaimer that OP specifically requested an ideal situation in today’s circumstances, not what will work.

    “Hamas doesn’t just want back the land that was stolen during the Nakba”

    Nobody said they did.

    “They consider all the land…”

    Yes, Hamas wants all their land back.

    Written above.

    “I don’t agree that Netanyahu is genocidal.”

    He is committing at least a cultural genocide executing majority civilians; Netanyahu is genocidal.

    “his general strategy seems to be crushing opposition through tactical maneuvering”

    Executing civilians and bombing schools and hospitals is not the subtle tactic you allege.

    “According to John Spencer and other urban warfare experts the civilian casualties are impressively low considering”

    Absurd.

    1. Israel has been executing civilians and bombing civilian structures like schools and hospitals for decades.

    2. There is an estimate of minimum 70% casualties from the current conflict.

    Color me not impressed.

    “I would love to see a reasonable 2 state solution that everyone hates, but can live with”

    OP would not, not the point here.

    Everythting after this is “I don’t see how any US president would be able…”, “I don’t see how leveraging that…”, “They don’t want…”

    Which, yes, and is not an answer to the thread: suggesting an ideal solution, not addressing the specific problems that could go wrong with an unformed practical solution.
