The current Israeli coalition government took the two state solution off the table, they're pushing through a law at the moment to that effect.

Because it is the only way they can survive and develop as a people...as a state. If they keep up this kind of policies they will gradually perish.

Why is it the only way?
How are they going to perish? By being killed by the IDF?
So, you're essentially saying that your response to Palestinians is "Accept what Israel gives you or be destroyed".
And you think that's the right side?
Rejection of the two state solution has always been enshrined in the Likud charter. It has never been an option for the Israeli right, which is why they murdered Rabin for agreeing to give the Palestinians about 22% of the land for a future state.

You are assuming too much.
Do you really think it's good for the people of Palestine to continue like this. Israel is doing them a favour by rooting Hamas out of that land. After that talks will eventually begin. Palestinians will have their say but naturally Israel will have it's demands. Winners of any war in the history of man usually do.
Ofcourse there could be different scenarios too...like full blown WW3
Indeed

What am I assuming?
No it's not good for the people of Palestine to continue like this.
I don't think I agree that Israel has done them any favours, ever.
Are they doing the Palestinians a favour forcefully evicting them out of their homes?
Your proposed solution appears to be to tell the Palestinians to give into whatever Israel demands of them.
I wonder how you'd feel if Russians started moving in nd evicting your mates from their homes.

I think two state solution is possible when Hamas is out of the picture. They basically have held their people at hostage since they rise to power (via real elections)

Do you think something Israel doesn't fund will take its place? Something more consequential, something that would attract foreign support like the international brigades against Franco's fascists?

How different was it before Hamas? My memory tells me the Palestinians weren't skipping through fields of za'atar
Not with this Israeli government or any which contains Likud or any party to the right of them.
And what would you do about the half a million plus settlers living in the West Bank?
The two state solution is dead.
Just to be a smarty pants, and I fully disagree with curtailing any freedom of the press (except in judicial matters) there's an argument that goes along
'We don't want any, let alone foreign journalists in anyone's firing line, for their safety and for the efficiency of our military manoeuvres we have had to restrict immediate access to the front lines for all citizens and journalists and charities alike'. etc
Thats not why they're doing this.
