Getting Israel to move from the “consumed in a bloodthirsty frenzy of destruction, immolating themselves and everyone they lay hands on” stage to the “consolidating the freshly stolen territory and recovering from the human costs of whipping the entire population into a deranged genocidal rage for a multi-year orgy of violence and horror” stage so the stolen land can be profiteered on with real estate scams isn’t “fixing” shit. Like maybe it’s half a step back from trying to keep the frenzied genocidal sprint stage going full blast, but that’s assuming that that is even what’s going on, and this isn’t just another short pause to regroup, resupply, and plan out the next wave of genocidal horror.
The middle east also isn’t some naturally intractable mess, the current state of things is more or less entirely down to several 100% modern problems: settler colonialists committing genocide for personal profit, Saudi Arabia boosting and exporting their personal brand of theocratic chauvinist heresy, and the US funding and arming Saudi-aligned jihadists to use as disposable and deniable mercenaries in conflicts throughout Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.
