It won't ever be fixed until and unless both sides want peace. That won't happen until and unless Israel recognizes it has, and is stealing land from the resident population. And also that military action will not work. If you want peace with the Palestinians you have to offer them a better future. You won't persuade the fanatics of Hamas, same as you won't persuade the fanatic Zionist settlers. Both have to be sidelined, to be cut off from the vast majority of the Palestinian and Israeli people who just want peace. And the same goes for the Settlers. Currently, as the superpower in the region its up to Israel to make the first move, by giving up land, but I fear that's just not hoing to happen.

@22Michelle The problem also is made worse by the fact that over half the population of Gaza Strip is fifteen and under. What they are witnessing is going to affect them for the rest of their lives.
I do not understand why the Islamic world has not distanced itself from the monstrous gang rape killings of October 7th. This is one of the worst atrocities ever seen on this Earth.
I can see Israel’s need to flush out Hamas. But in doing so they may have created something far worse.
Going back to the 1948 borders is the legitimate solution, but that is not going to happen either.
People of vision are needed. They are there, but in short supply. Qatar, Turkey and some USA diplomats have that vision, probably others too.
My own UK government seems devoid of care and compassion. And should keep well away from it.

@sunriselover and those under 15 in Gaza are now likely to grow up supporting Hamas or an even more extreme group.israel will ptobably win this battle, buf it is losing the war.

@22Michelle My thoughts exactly.
