The situation is an iterated prisoner's dilemma:
If Palestine attacks and Isreal makes concessions, Palestine wins and Israel loses.
If Israel attacks and Palestine makes concessions, Israel wins and Palestine loses.
If Isreal makes concessions and Palestine makes concessions, both win.
If Isreal attacks and Palestine attacks, both lose.
The dominant strategy in an iterated prisoner's dilemma is tit-for-tat with forgiveness. Unilateral withdrawal from Gaza is an instance of "forgiveness". If Gaza was following tit-for-tat with forgiveness, they would've responded with concessions, instead of with rockets.
Seems to me then that only one side of this conflict is following the fundamental strategy that can lead to peace.
