Who is on the west bank? Hezbollah. They are Hamas times 10 in terms of power. Since they choose to participate in the attacks, they get attacked as well. So yes, in that case it is not actually Hamas who can stop. It is another terrorist organization.
You mean that 2017 charter that does not even recognize Israel? Which calls them Zionist enemies? As per your link? Not exactly sure how that would lead to peace or why Israel should accept that outlandish bullshit.
Hezbollah is a Lebanese political entity, not sure where you got the idea that they're in the west bank (currently governed by the PLO, if you weren't aware).
I don't think not recognising Israel is outlandish either. There are quite a few countries which do not recognise Israel - Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Indonesia spring to mind.
Hezbollah is about as political as Hamas, how does that change their status as terrorist organizations? Here is a list.
You name some countries known for their superb human rights. I wonder why not recognizing Israel and having among the worst human rights coincides.
Regardless of whether you think Hezbollah are a terrorist organisation or no, they're not in the west bank, they're in Lebanon (a different country).
Those countries I mentioned are just examples of large countries that do not recognise Israel. My point is that it is not 'outlandish' to not recognise Israel.
You are correct.
A quick read suggests that it is mostly Palestinians and a bit of Hamas in the west bank.
