I really doubt it will end soon. Israel can't end it. They probably could go into Gaza and murder everyone in there, but that wouldn't end it that would just intensify it. How would all the over Arab/Muslim populations in that region react if Israel were to do that?

They wouldn't do anything just like how they're standing and watching the show just like everyone else is right now.

Well... I'm guessing they'd do more than nothing, but Palestinians aren't univerally beloved in the Middle East.  Jordan has had a ton of issues with them (see Black September) as conflicts arose as to how much authority the Palestinians in the region should have.  The PLO played a huge role in the Lebanese Civil war by using Lebanon as a staging ground for raids on Israel which led Israel into an already unstable political situation and led to the implosion of the country.  Egypt is supporting the blockade which is part of the issue at hand now.

It's also worth noting that their really isn't any Arab nation that is powerful enough to stand against Israel.  Egypt is dealing with its own shit right now, Syria is in the midst of a civil war that gets no coverage because it doesn't have that hot Muslim/Jew angle to play up, and we all know about Iraq.  It's not like things are peachy keen right now except for Palestine, the whole region is kind of fucked.
