Israel is surrounded by very rich countries, these countries control one of the most important natural resources on the planet. As a result they have a tremendous political clout with the developed nations like China, Russian and Europe. Likewise these arab nations have made one of the largest coalitions of muslim nations, I think it is now over 50 countries, in the UN. This is hardly the big, bad Israel vs the little downtrodden Palestinians.
However, this Arab alliance doesn't want peace, they want to be a continual thorn in the side of Israel. If they did want it the Palestinians would have had a peace settlement decades ago. Israel wants peace with its neighbors, Palestinians for the most part want to get on with their lives and have peace, but the Arab "allies" of the Palestinians, they are the ones who don't want this conflict to end.
