I don't. It's failed for long enough and it was a diabolical proposition with unfair compromise from the very start (the Oslo Accords).
But the sheer arrogance and disregard of Britain, France, USA, the Zionist movement and others to think they could simply carve out a home in the very distant and foreign Levant for Eastern Europeans Jewish migrants, by taking 80% of the land of the Palestinians (only ~3% of whom were Jewish) without consultation or consideration of their near unanimous opposition - let alone that of the neighbouring Arabs, the global South states [important because a) they too were very experienced with American-European oppression and colonialism and can smell it from afar and b) they are part of this world too and their objection was worth nothing]
Anyone with sense would've taken things back to the drawing board unless they had ulterior motives, which was clearly the case. Anyone with sense also knew that this Zionist dream would be a Palestinian nightmare that could only be achieved militarily and with bloodshed.
What's going on at Rafah now is yet another stark reminder that Israel desires a one state solution by creating a humanitarian crisis and to pressure neighbouring countries (Egypt for Rafah) to take in refugees, or to wipe out large swathes of civilians if they don't. [It's truly embarrassing how little they've harmed Hamas both in numbers and public perception.] And then at the end of the day they might just absorb whatever remnants of a Palestinian population happen to remain.
So yeah, how things currently look the two-state solution seems unlikely to me and both sides would desire otherwise. The Palestinians have every right to resist and reclaim their occupied land (even pre-1967) from this oppressive settler colonialism and inherently dangerous and racist ideological regime that has done nothing but usurp more and more of their human rights and call for their ethnic cleansing. It's that simple. Only Zionists and their ilk like the lobbyists that they fund claim otherwise.

Does anyone think there might be a negotiated two state solution at the end of this misery?
The psychological pressure around the world is so intense. So many of us are grieving for the children being slaughtered by tanks. It seems inevitable that Netanyahu will be removed. Moderate Israeli voices might prevail. Allegedly this was Sinyar's plan - the dead children and the many who will soon be killed by the IDF are all martyrs who will help create a new Palestine.
