Well, quite possibly because as posted earlier, this has been a desired end point for negotiations, not a starting point.
I still get back to this: If the ultimate goal is not about territory, and assuming its about peace, why would / should Israel negotiate with anyone until the Palestinians and their ideological affiliates agree that Israel has a right to exist? They could give up territory back to 1967 and still end up with a bunch of neighbors who want them extinguished.
