Where is the room to compromise and create lasting peace if Israel is negotiating with regimes dominated by Hamas and Hezbollah which are groups dedicated to the goals of eliminating all non-arab control of the region and killing every jew on the planet respectively?

I know these issues seem monolithic, but the IRA eventually morphed into Sein Fenn in Northern Ireland. In some ways this is a similar situation. It took many years but I bet it was worth it.

It didn't help, however, that the world encouraged Palestine to have democratic elections and when they did and voted in the Hamas party, the world said "no way" and immediately punished Palestine for being a little too democratic.
