The settlements were removed and the land was parceled out fairly and America paid for prefabricated houses to be built for the settlers.
America was given a base in Israel to suppliment the IDF to deal with outside threats.
As an add on there would have to be an agreement that included the other nations in the middle east who would put pressure on Iran to stop arming terrorists.
As an add on there would have to be serious economic development aid provided to the West Bank and Gaza.
The naval blockade would in my mind have to stop to get aid through, but maybe you set up a co-mingled Palastine/Israel customs inspection team at each dock to ensure that weapons aren't smuggled in.
I think that there needs to be a bunch of things that need to happen for any peace plan to work
Mutal respect on both sides
A dedication to peace
Hamas would have to give up their charter aim of destroying the state of Israel
Israel would have to soften their stand on the settlements
Maybe Gaza and the East Bank need to have proper representation in Parliment.

I'm glad we can agree that the end point of this conflict is a 2 state solution, and that increased Israeli settlements are a barrier towards peace.
