Islamists want to be ruled under Islamic regime as depicted in Quran. In fact, all Muslim countries in the middle east abide by this. Unfortunately, they're also fully dead set on this.
As an added bonus, Jews are literally "race that was despised by Allah (translating from Turkish here, might not be correct)" so there's absolutely zero chance anything diplomatic could happen. Even if Israel decides to give everything up.
The potential solution would be Turkiye managing this situation but that's even more outlandish.
I think you overestimate how many Palestinians believe this. I'm my family in gaza, we had Jewish friends. My father was best friends with a jew for many years. So many of us just want to live in peace, alongside people who do not want to kill us. Yes, there are a few zealots who believe this, and many leaders base their power directly on their bloodlust for Israel. Most of them hate Israel and their actions more than thier religion. I know Israel is much the same to us. If everyone who truly believes this died in one night, there would be no mourning for them, and a great cry of peace and relief would reach to the heavens, saying " let God sort out religions when we die, and not people sort out when we die by religion ".
Interesting. I'm Turkish, had Palestinian and Jordanian(?) friends along with Turkish friends alongside buddies who served in healthcare for both sides. Just about everyone who were religious in those groups had a burning hatred for Israel specifically. To a point where they get happy whenever things happen to religious people. We're not just talking about some zealots here, we're talking about more than half the people I know.
This is why I assumed it's quite literally impossible. Interesting that it actually might be!
I know I have celebrated when Israel suffers a defeat, but not the death of regular Jews, or Israeli civilians.
