> What state attacked what state?

Wannabe Palestinian state in 1948. Alliance of Arabic states in 1967. That's irrelevant detail IMO.

> Hamas is not a state government, it's a terrorist organization.

Tell that WHO that sees Hamas Ministry of Health as reliable source of information. Or current leadership of the West Bank that sees Hamas as legitimate partners moving on.

> Why are they without state?

Because they themselves don't see themselves separate from Gaza population. Never in the history did the leadership of West Bank go to Israel and say "we recognize you as a state, and want to make peace with you. Oh, and don't worry about Gaza, they don't have anything in common with us apart from ethnicity". Without recognition it's not a peace, it's a forced ceasefire.
