So, as long as Palestinians want to destroy Israel, there's nothing Israel can do, short of self-unfolding, to solve the issue. As long, as Palestinians are yearning to have their own state from the river to the sea, there's no path forward. No matter what Israel does.

Israel's great failure was in the 1980's and 90's prior to the rise of Muslim fundamentalism when they could have traded land for peace, Palestinians always wanted all their land back but there was a time when they didn't hate Israeli's, they were negotiable then but Israel invaded Lebanon and generally acted like a regional playground bully because the USSR was falling, the US had won and Israel was on the winning side in all the conflicts it has been drawn into
