There will never be two states. Palesinians now cannot possess weapons legally because they don't have a state so they're not eligible for an army, yet they manage to smuggle some from Iran, Syria and Hezbullah, as well as the primitive weapons they assemble themselves.

Allowing them to have a state will open the door to unlimited military resources, so it's in the Israelis best interest that they (the elected Hamas) remain a terrorist militia. And of course the US will se to it.
