Israel’s military has claimed it has encircled Gaza City and divided the besieged coastal strip into two, as Gaza came under its third total communications outage since the start of the war.

“Today, there is north Gaza and south Gaza,” Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hagari told reporters on Sunday, calling it a “significant stage” in Israel’s war against Hamas.

Israeli media reported that troops are expected to enter Gaza City within 48 hours. Strong explosions were seen in northern Gaza after nightfall.

But the “collapse in connectivity” across Gaza reported by internet access advocacy group NetBlocks.org and confirmed by the Palestinian telecom company Paltel made it even more complicated to convey details of the new stage of the military offensive.

The half-ass "two state" attempt right now isn't working.

It's because it's half-assed, by Netanyahu. He won't allow Palestine state to be formed, as well as will not return the West Bank and evict the illegal settlement, but instead either allow the settler to stay or carve that land for himself. He also want Palestine to demilitarised. A country without military is a sitting duck, so it's understandable no one wanted that.

No, he doesn't want Palestine. More moderate/leftist Israelis want a demilitarized Palestine. The Israeli far right just wants them off the map for their lebensraum.

He doesn't want the state Palestine to exists and the people who identified as Palestinian. If he doesn't want Palestine(the land) he will retreat from West Bank. Instead, he continue to occupy it and illegally build more settler there.

He doesn't want a Palestine, he wants it to be greater Israel or whatever.

Netanyahu basically attempts to destroy the 2 state solution by putting more Israelis to the west bank area. That’s quite terrible, I have to admit.

he also aided Hamas to undermine the two-state solution

May I ask about how he helped out Hamas? I don't know about that.

What I know is that there is illegal occupation in East Jerusalem and Bibi also actively supports life of Jews behind in wall. This is illegal under the international law and also Israeli judiciary (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_law_and_Israeli_settlements?wprov=sfti1#Status_of_the_territories).

So I could go on about how and why (funding, assistance in getting rid of less radical secular opposition, the purposeful not targeting in military campaigns etc...), but I figure I could just let some of the oldest newspapers in the region do it for me, after all why reinvent the wheel.

like Harratz

or the Times of Israel
