"The Kingdom has communicated its firm position to the U.S. administration that there will be no diplomatic relations with Israel unless an independent Palestinian state is recognised on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital..."

While I broadly agree with you, I think now is possibly the best chance there has ever been, and possibly will be for a long time to come, for a two state solution to be implemented, because for the first time, there is a strong international push for it. Am I optimistic? No.
As for Israel being horrible for the US, absolutely, and yes it has only itself to blame.
Arguably, it's a do or die situation for Israel. I'd say instead that they're on the horns of a dilemma. Assuming that the #icj comes down against them, the question raised is what military response to the next #AlAqsaFlood operation would be legal.
Which I've not heard anyone address.
The strategy of Hamas is to repeat their recent success.
@GhostOnTheHalfShell
Yeah it is a mess, to put it very mildly. And with the US giving unconditional support to Israel rather than reigning it in, I don't see things improving there anytime soon.
Nonetheless, maybe, just maybe there is a glimmer of hope for Palestinians now. (As I said, I'm not really optimistic.) And maybe that is what Hamas were going for on Oct 7.
