 Maybe.

Israel never even tried for peace though.  It still hasn't tried it.  It demands peace under conditions where it continues to occupy, murder, barracade, bulldoze, and fill wells with concrete.  That's not peace.  Why doesn't Israel try for peace?  They don't actually want peace, they want to win. They want the entire territory, but they are afraid of international reprocussions if they just genocide the remaining Palestineans so they are letting it happen slowly.  But evil, flat out evil it is.  Palestineans have little choice here. They can't just live like that.

Also, Hezbollah, Iran, Russia even could come in and make a full scale war that forces Israel to honor the U.N. resolutions. But that is not likely to happen either.

Unfortunately the most likely outcome is the most unjust one... Israel will use this as an excuse to prune the Palestinean population further, 1000 for every 1.  Until they are eventually gone.
