It's more that I don't think Israel is interested in negotiating with an entity that will lead to the conclusion that in fact the siege, the incursions, the סכולים ממוקדים are in fact decisions made not by lack of any other choice.
I don't even know what their demands are. I know that Israel's demand that they roll over and just accept the fact that we control all is unacceptable, I wouldn't accept that is I were them. If their demands were infused with their usual vitriol of the destruction of Israel, I doubt our diplomats even bothered to listen to anything they had to say. Our arrogance generally leaves us deaf to any narrative in which we aren't the victims.
I don't think a long term solutions should even be on the table by this point, because there is no way to know what can and can't be done until the Occupation is over, which is really what I'd think everyone wants (it's a question as to what you perceive the Occupation to be).
My ideal solution is a secular (total separation of religion and state) binational state, but that's a fantasy I don't see happening. The rhetoric we hear is that of paranoia against being surrounded by enemies and the enemies within.
