Sure maybe someday… but there needs to be a little less emphasis on inevitability and a little more on how to make a potential Palestinian stat be a functional country.
The current ruling class of Palestine are corrupt and incompetent. The feeling that by only hating Israel a lot will result in a Palestinian state has had the effect of Palestine having bad leadership. No one holds Palestinian leadership to account because the excuse that “it’s all Israel’s fault” can be used for any problem.
A Palestinian state right now would be an instant failed state. A state which could fall back under the rule of either Hamas (or a group just like it), and we’ll see the exact same thing we’re seeing now happening a few decades from now.
Governing a Palestinian state will be extremely difficult for even a competent government, and the current leadership of Palestine is far from competent.
There’s a dream of a Palestinian state but it will always be only a dream until people can accept the realities of the challenges involved with creating a stating and Palestinians can find leaders capable of facing those challenges. Dreams happen when sleeping, you can’t create a state unless you have both eyes open.
Removing Hamas from the equation is a step in this direction… they didn’t really govern at all, they just built rockets and tunnels and had the UN handle most of the responsibilities of governing. But Fatah as it is right now isn’t really up to it either.
Real leaders need to step up in Palestine. That means working solve problems regardless of who’s fault they may be.

Never in history a colonizer left without armed resistance to weaken it enough so they are forced to leave.
