Too many things need to align for a solution. Without presumption, the bare minimum I see are that the locals need to want to live in communal peace, their leaders need to want communal peace, foreign negative influence needs to stop or be countered effectively, and material resources and political influence need to be distributed in a manner acceptable to a critical mass of the locals.
That hasn’t been the case for millennia. It’s good to have hope, but there’s a reason achieving peace in the Middle East is used as a comedy trope.

Creating a popularly elected secular state in a place saturated with religious fanatics from innumerable strands of faith, many of whom have hated each other for generations, and they all want to call the shots… Doesn’t seem viable, honestly.
