The thing is some kind of military force is essentially required for a sovereign state. Israels conditions basically would give Palestine faux-sovereignity but leave Israel still holding de facto control. It'd basically be the status quo with a different veneer.

Exactly. It would actually be a better position for Israel, because if they accepted "sovereignty" under those conditions, Israel could just say "well, you've got sovereignty, so what are you bitching about now?"

That's why the right independence is critical. Wrong independence will either maintain the status quo or lead to further civil strife within Palestine
