As a devoted supporter of Israel (except for Bibi, the worst Israeli leader ever, and the settlements), I agree with this, with one critical qualification:
The Palestinians must forfeit their "right of return" to Israel proper. They would preserve their right of return but only to the new Palestinan state.
The proposition of millions of Palestinian Arabs immigrating to Israel is a non-starter, and non-negotiable, because it would be a suicide mission. The Jews will not go like lambs to the slaughter, period. The right of return combined with a dedicated Palestinian state would amount to Palestine "from the river to the sea".

There are many moving parts here. One of the biggest obstacles in the past has been resistance to Israel and a two state solution by the surrounding Arab countries. With the real possibility of normalized relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel, the entire game board changes. And there are many other elements in flux right now. Assuming historical reactions in this new climate is not helpful or meaningful.
With no movement, and Hamas determined to continue attacking Israel, there is a ratcheting effect that we do not want to suffer the final breakage of. If we return to exasperated stasis, we come ever closer to direct confrontation between Israel and Iran...with both possessing nuclear capabilities.
