I understand your point of view but I am not sure current state is sustainable and that Israel is rational actor long term.
Israel depends on several things to be true and any one or two of them being false probably means end of state
1. Israel has much stronger economy than neighboring states. Hi tech army is expensive
2. Strong internal cohesion with no widespread protests/division or civil war.
3. Modern weapons systems are exclusively available to Israel
4. Strong US support with both money and political cover
5. Arabs not becoming majority in Israel thru demographics
6. Arab states continue to be in shitty state
Specifically
3 may not be true for long with China investing in military capabilities
4 is not assured with woke anti-colonialism ideology and AOC/Tlaib/Ilhan increasing influence on Dem party.
All Palestinians need to do is not to give up. Israel need to win every single time as there is no recovery from loss.
There is argument that strategically Israel is at the strongest moment and it can get most concessions from Palestinians now. In future it may end up in much worse bargaining position.
