I don't really know anything about the situation beyond the 10 minute explainer I watched on youtube.

It's practically a holy war that's raged for millennia though - I don't think there are "solutions", I think the goal is just to dial back the ferocity of the feud a few notches.

Both sides should start by not doing war crimes.

That 10 minute explainer did you a disservice I think. That holy war concept is a really vague way of describing why there has been conflict in the region for that breadth of time. But it doesnt really address the Israel-Palestinian conflict so much as it provides a smokescreen for the last 100 years of political maneuvers by the various Allied powers of WW1 and WW2 with the British and French first, then America since.
