Opinions vary. My personal opinion is that we are where we are because they didn't do it sooner. I think Israel is finally done appeasing these Islamists.
In all seriousness, though the Arab nations have had a lot of wars against the tiny nation, always refusing to take in "refugees" of their own, this time I think it's different. That is why the risk of WWIII is more serious this time. No more appeasement. We see where that has gotten them.
So, Netenyahu is willing to make allies with the Sunni Arab nations, but you are not. To you, they are all Arabs,
I mean no disrespect to you personally, but it is this view that has gotten us where we are. Had previous Israeli governments moved toward an evententual 2-state solution, there would be a different situation now.
I will list two OBVIOUS and reprehensible ISraeli policies. There are many more, especially on the West Bank.
WEST BANK
1) Israel has continued to support the settlers in West Bank and has increased the number of settlers and settlements. The government has condoned many, many crimes by settlers against West Bank Palestinians who they consider enemies of Israel. Israel sould have closed all settlements and moved out of the West Bank, except for the security force that works with the Palestinian Authority.
The Palestinian Authority agreed to recognize Israel. They BELIEVED Israel and their allies. They believed that this would the first fo many steps toward a Palestinian state. Instead, the Israeli government has greatly undermined the PA, with the expected results of a weak, unpopular government.
The West Bank should be called Palestine, not a state yet, but the name would be a major state. In addition, Israel should support the Palestinian government with policies and economic partnerships (as it is doing with several of the Arab states).
GAZA
2. What can I say,? The Israeli goernment wanted to avoid a 2-state solution. The PLO (now the Palestinian Authority) could have moved toward a 2-state solution as they have moved in the West Bank. So they had to weaken the Palestinian Authority. They did so ont he West Bank. They did the same in Gaza, directly and through FINANCIAL SUPPORT OF HAMAS. Yup, the Israeli government sent money, through Qatar, to Hamas. More importantly, the government acted in ways that caused Hamas to strengthen at the expense of the PA.
The result should have been expected. When the Israeli government was hopelessly split and showed weakness, SHIA Hamas acted. Also, Hamas need to act soon, before Israel made allies of all the Sunni states, in effect taking sides in favor of Saudi Arabia and against Iran.
NOW, the only hope for Gaza and to prevent an extended war is for the Sunni Arabs to take over Gaza's security within and without. And there would need to be a Palestinian civil government. The economic aid needed may total 1 trillion dollars. But, that is the only solution. Of course, this would eventually result in a recognition of the country of Palestine, total failure for the settlers and their government lackeys like Netanyahu.
And by the way, all current members of HAMAS can NOT be excluded from government. US and our allies made that mistake in Iraq. Hamas cannot be pushed underground to for a new SHIA terrorist group, with the support of Iran. Of course, the HAMAS military leadership would be excluded, and probably turned over to the Israelis.
