Not to beat the same drum again, but there are political parties in Israel (the Industry Minister's own Jewish Home Party) that want to annex all of the West Bank to Israel. What they would do to the Palestinians in that event is unclear, but you can draw your own conclusions. Even Netanyahu has gone on record saying he has no interest in ending the occupation, halting or dismantling settlements.
At the end of the day, this is like any other negotiation. Both sides come to the table with their ideal, yet unrealistic scenario, but fully expecting the final resolution to be somewhere in the middle.
