They have 3 choices:

2. Stall -- this is what they have done and the result is their position shrinks every year. Every year there are more Jews, and Israel has advanced steadily with there claim to the land. At some point in the future the Palestinians claim will be considered ancient history.
3. Negotiate -- this involves compromise. If you look at the first peace proposal that the Palestinians rejected you can see the idiocy of the Palestinian leaders and how they have not acted on behalf of the Palestinians but rather have been puppets of the Arab nations.

Why would the Israeli's want to negotiate? They have nothing to gain from negotiation. Trump and Kushner are clearly bias toward Israel so they are in no position to act as mediators. Netanyahu appears to be in no mood for compromising. Why would he be when Trump backs Israel unconditionally?
