According to Haniyeh himself, the only condition as part of the 'Deal of the century" for Gazans to get blockade lifted, a seaport, an airport and $15 Billion economic package - was to disarm.
They refused. The PA also refused the deal because it would cause a "split". The PA basically refuse all deals that doesn't go directly through them (even Coronavirus aid from UAE )
Imagine refusing this deal it just shows this has nothing to do with getting a separate state or two states. Hamas needs this conflict to keep going otherwise their reason for existing gets called into question and the PA need the conflict to keep going because they make more $$$ in the longrun from its continuation than any economic package.

Hamas asked Israel to build an airport or sea port in the Gaza Strip during the last round of discussions between the two, but was refused after Arab officials and Palestinian Authority officials told Israel that such a move would cause a split between the West Bank and Gaza, said Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, according to KAN news.
Haniyeh claimed as well that Hamas was offered economic aid worth $15 billion, including an airport and sea port as part of the Deal of the Century peace plan. Hamas refused the offer as the aid would only be given on condition that the terror group disarm.
