The blockade exists because Hamas is the government in power in Gaza. Hamas believes explicitly in the destruction of the Israeli state. Peace begins when Hamas turns themselves in to the international community to face the death sentence for war crimes. Failing that, Gaza will need to be occupied and the political leadership of Gaza cut out and destroyed.
the entire #FREEPALESTINE movement is a house built on sand. Gaza is an "open air prison" and "israel has millions of hostages". but this is a half truth at best. if Israel "let them go" no one would take them, israel isn't keeping Gazans hostages, they'd be tickled pink if they left, or even would pay to rehome them. it's not that Gazan's cant escape by Israeli dictate, it's that no one else in the world will take them, least of all their Muslim brother nations. I doubt even the west bank wants to absorb any at this point. the blockade is a sad reality, because while muslim nations wont take even a small number of people per year they're happy to flood in weapons to Gaza if the blockade drops.
without Hamas being defeated and something like an Abraham accords plan to prevent a power vacuum its just rinse and repeat.
