Let's say Israel withdrew from 100% of the West Bank, all of Eastern Jerusalem, ethnically cleansed every Jewish person from the area, ended the blockade of Gaza, and recognized the independent state of Palestine tomorrow. Would that end the conflict? Probably not. Hamas is open about its intentions to wipe out Israel utterly, and no Israeli concessions will change that. Fatah will insist that all descendants of the Palestinian refugees, including the ones will live in the West Bank and Gaza, be allowed to move to Israel instead of accepting them into the new state of Palestine. This will do nothing to mollify Hezbollah, which isn't even Palestinian, or Iran, which is the primary patron and supplier of Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist groups. And this is all assuming a best case scenario where the PA turns into a responsible government that can manage to not be overthrown by Hamas without Israel to protect it in Gaza, which would mean a full-scale war much worse than any of the Gaza operations.
Israel may be the strongest party in the conflict, but with the genocidal fanatics on the other side and the suicidal demands of the supposed moderates the only ways Israel could end the conflict is to utterly defeat its enemies militarily or to cease to exist. There is nothing else Israel could do.that would result in an end to hostilities right now.
