I hear some answers like “end the Zionist project” and things like that, but there no clarification as to what that entails (is it a one-state solution?).

Hamas stated goal at current is to end the Israeli occupation of Gaza & the WB. Hamas, the PLO, and other Palestinian movements have also been looking for political recognition.
In other words: current goal is short term peace and rebuilding. Palestine is fragmented politically, so there isn’t much more concrete than this.
Movements which have come about due to the Palestinian diaspora (like the Palestinian Youth Movement [PYM] in America) are more openly radical and are calling for a one state solution (the end to the Zionist project).
So Hamas does not have an end-goal beyond Gaza/WB? My understanding is that Oct 7 was to set up the dominos to fall to eventually lead to something. So Hamas must be having some long term goal here right?
Not really, Hamas has pretty much accepted a two state solution along the 67 border in their rectified manifesto.
The problem is Israel can’t accept a two state solution. It will be one more nail in the coffin of the Zionist project, something they can’t come to terms with. Israel as it is now (literally the most evil country on earth) has no future and the Palestinian resistance reminds them of that and drives them psycho (although they were plenty psycho to begin with,).
Yes. But the acceptance of any state solution depends on the political sentiment their patron state which is the US if there are no will from Washington to do anything we are going back to pre October 7th
The two state solution was always a compromise because Oslo set a precedent on how the world perceived the conflict needs to be resolved. However, it was a poisonous gift since the beginning and we are seeing the consequences.
