Tribalism is human nature. You simply can’t end it. And pointing it as a solution for the Palestinian problem is just as likely as “saying let’s colonize mars”, both are very nice ideas, but only feasible in movies.

What’s your solution? Domination does not appear to be working on any level and has severely eroded Israel’s credibility with its allies.
Qualifying apartheid and sadist acts as human nature or that solving problems is too tough to bother trying sounds pretty weak. These are positions guilty people take to excuse bad behavior.
Same solution that was offered to Germany and Japan after WW2. Demilitarize, deradicalize, erect a technocratic regime, supported by western nations. And after a few years they can have their own sovereignty. Right now the hate is far too great and the capabilities are far too extreme to just let the Palestinians enter freely into Israeli territory
Think about it in reverse. If Palestinians and their land are emancipated into Israel then those illegal settlements in the West Bank will no longer be illegal.
That imbalance is a prime example why so much of the world believes the current situation, or even just comments to equivalent effect by senior Israeli leaders, is apartheid. If most of the world believes the current situation to be apartheid then its no stretch of the imagination to condemn words or action to remove, destabilize, or eradicate Palestinian prosperity as potential acts of genocide. The same qualifiers and equivocations were used by the aggressors to qualify genocidal acts that occurred in the Balkans in the '90s.
If Israel and Hamas leaders really wanted greater security then they would have already solved for these imbalances. Security is not the primary motivation though, domination is.

In which borders would this demilitarised state exist?
This is more or less what Biden is currently trying to do. The Israelis aren't interested.
