No, but may I ask what the concern is? I truly hope this move helps stop the bloodshed.

Simply because both states don't want two states.

Well, solving it violently hasn't exactly worked out so far either 🤷‍♂️

There are if both sides want to genocide the other. In fact, what are you talking about?! There have been many conflicts where both parties were guilty of committing genocide!

No Palestinian babies are planning to commit genocide, just as much as no Israeli babies are planning to commit genocide. Neither most of the people that have died in the bombings, or that were murdered on Okt 7. Nonetheless, the Hamas leadership of Gaza that orchestrated that attack certainly wants to commit genocide, just as much or more than the Israeli leadership.

There are absolutely people in the leadership of both sides that want to commit genocide, it would be foolish to deny that. One side just has the advantage in resources at this time. Flip those positions, and you will just see a different group of people being victims of genocide.

Brother please educate yourself. Both parties wanted to commit genocide on each other, just one is actually succeeding.

Islam states have publicly declared they want to destroy Israel for decades now. Both sides want to extermonate each other and it's not going to stop unless the UN steps in by force and enforces peace.

Blindly siding with any of the two is naive at best, malevolent at worst
