Seems like false hope. I find it difficult to believe Israel's far-right ministers will allow Netanyahu or Israel to accept a two-state solution.
You don't have to read between the lines. Just read direct quotes from them. They are incredibly transparent in their intentions and goals - which is to wipe out Gaza, move the Palestinian people, and settle the land with Israelis.
- Bezalel Smotrich has said the "Gaza Strip could be a "real estate bonanza" and that he is in talks with the US about dividing up the territory after the war - an idea previously condemned internationally. Speaking at an event in Tel Aviv [in Sept 2025], he said "a business plan is on President Trump's table... We've done the demolition phase... Now we need to build" (Source: BBC, https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5y59z6rznvo)
These are just a few quotes directly from these Ministers / people in power themselves. I'm just directly quoting their own words. You all can interpret them as you wish.

- Ben-Gvir said "that when the Gaza war ends, Israel must remain the sole ruler of the enclave. "Only the state of Israel. No one else. A full occupation of Gaza. Israeli control. Jewish settlement," he said, adding, "But that is not enough. There is another very important, essential step, which is encouraging emigration [of Palestinian people out]."

- Bezalel Smotrich's "vision for the Gaza Strip" is that "the population of the territory would be confined to just a narrow swath of land, with the remainder of the enclave “totally destroyed.”: “They will be totally despairing, understanding that there is no hope and nothing to look for in Gaza, and will be looking for relocation to begin a new life in other places.” (Source: Times of Israel: https://www.timesofisrael.com/smotrich-says-gaza-to-be-totally-destroyed-population-concentrated-in-small-area/#:~:text=Finance%20Minister%20and%20Religious%20Zionism,4)

If history has taught us anything in the Middle East, it's that if it's all or nothing, it'll be nothing.
