A scholar with a deep understanding of the feelings and needs of both sides lays out for RealClearPolitics why a settlement of the Palestinian question is unlikely. Azar Gat of Tel Aviv University argues that the Palestinians show no signs of giving up their demand for a "right of return" whereas the Israelis cannot grant that and survive.
If he is correct, Israel has only one option and that is some version of the present day Whack-a-Mole situation. In it, Israel lives continuously on guard alongside a hostile population and periodically has to pummel them back into a temporary quiescence.
People will continue to die on both sides. It is unlikely that the "Gaza Beach" developer's solution proposed by Trump will work.
Since neither side will give in and neither is willing to move elsewhere, it appears peace will only arrive hand in hand with genocide. Genocide is something of which Israel is "able but unwilling" to do; on the other hand the Palestinian Arabs are "willing but unable." So ... no peace in the foreseeable future.
