The ultimate solution is going to invovle a land swap.

If you click on the "Peace Now" link I provide above, you can see a detailed map of the expansion of settlements in 2011. You are wrong about settlements being west of the security barrier, that they are in "confined areas". In particular the Ariel settlement and those East of Jerusalem.
As well, I disagree with your assertion that the Wall is primarily responsible for the peace from the WB - it is a reflection of a moderate PA. The Wall wouldn't prevent WB citizens from firing off hundreds of homemade rockets like Gaza is doing.
