Didn't they pull funding from UNRWA after Israel did a massive smear campaign against it? UNRWA was literally the lifeline for Gaza.

The best way to encourage a 2 state solution is by sanctioning Israel for the genocide they're perpetrating and the apartheid they're enacting against Palestinians in Israel.

Not to mention that Israel's settlements plan is literally to subvert the chances of a 2 state solutions. So good luck with "educational lessons" to bridge the gap of distrust.
