Of course. However, Hamas needs to be ended as a governing entity *completely* before progress can be made and the Palestinians themselves need to start facing reality: Israel isn't going anywhere and if they want to live in peace and start to generate some prosperity, they're going to have to work for it.

That means ending the terrorism and ending the 'struggle'.

Except....how exactly does a random impovershed Palestinian family living in a refugee camp in Syria do anything to end Iranian-funded terrorism in Gaza? Or even a Palestinian family in the West Bank? There isn't a functioning Palestinian state. There hasn't been an election in any Palestinian area since 2009, because leadership won't call one. Which means that ordinary people have no real mechanism for controlling or directing the activities of even the nominal Palestinian government authorities - let alone the non-state actors like the terror groups.
