why hasn’t a two state solution worked? 

what’s the single highest leverage thing Israel could do as a state today to solve this for the future?

Two state solution hasn’t worked for a ton of reasons but main ones might be that West Bank is too strategically/religiously important for Israel to un-occupy w/o guaranteed peace (like we did with Gaza) and Gaza isn’t large enough to be a country (resource-wise).

Also leadership on both sides don’t want it, Israel’s side very aggressive/skeptical, Palestinian side undemocratic/endorses violence. 

Top thing Israel could do is prob control the West Bank settlers, stop new settlements and their attacks. West Bank is the heart of the issue
