Israel has created enough facts on the ground to absorb the West Bank.
The Israelis are able to do this despite the grumblings of US administrations,
because of:
The powerful positions of American Jews and Jewish sympathizers in the economic, social and political life of the US.
Suicide bombings, 9/11, and televised beheadings have created a significant US antipathy to Muslims.
The resilience of Likud with its hard right policies has made it very difficult for Israel to be influenced by outsiders seeking a better deal for Palestinians.
I believe the only area Palestinians will be able to 'govern' is Gaza.
