Negotiate for a Palestinian independent state instead of working on a Saudi deal. Wouldn’t that be more effective to this intractable conflict?
It would be a big mistake to underestimate the Israeli desires and plans to have a much larger Israel. That's the underlying cause of this and other conflicts in that region. They want to have as many Jews from the world to come to Israel as possible and for that they are going to need a larger Israel and of fertile land. Lebanon, up to the Litany River, would have been gobbled up by now had it not been Hezbollah. Golan is not only strategic location but also good land.
Israelis want fertile land. As much as possible. Why would they give up the West Bank when they already possess it? Only through force they would concede anything.
