Those maps show 4 entirely different things:
Map 1: Jewish settlements
Map 2: Proposed political borders that the Arab states rejected
Map 3: Political border following the 1949 war.
Map 4: Palestinian settlements
A much more accurate idea of Israeli ambitions is provided by the route of the West Bank Barrier.
As you can see only about 3-4% of the West Bank lies on the Israeli side. As it's no longer 1967, it makes much more sense to redraw the borders in a way that provides the best options to both Arabs an Jews. In other words, the land swap.
