Israel offered Palestinians a two-state solution multiple times. During the Oslo accords Israel allowed Palestinian leadership to return and established the Palestinian Authority and gave it control over many areas as a path towards peace and a two state solution: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oslo_Accords

It was Palestinians who through a wave of suicide bombings made sure there's no chance of any solution: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_suicide_attacks#Ba...

Your so called march was an attempt of Hamas to break the blockade. Similar to events that happened prior to Oct 7th to get Israel to drop its guard. Israel was justified in blockading Gaza as long as it was under Hamas control. Hamas fired numerous rockets at Israeli cities throughout the period since it took over the Gaza strip by force from the Palestinian Authority. Palestinians didn't need to march to remove the blockade. All they had to do is remove/disarm Hamas.

Most Palestinians do not want a two state solution. They want Israel removed, all the Jewish people removed from the middle east, and one state in its place.

I'm not going to defend settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank. It's not ok. But that is a relatively new phenomena that is a result of extremism in Israel due to decades of indiscriminate Palestinian violence against civilians. Before the first Intifada there were generally peaceful relationships (and a lot less settlers/settlement).
