I agree with Del. Partition, I would dare add, is also the moral and ethical solution. The Kurds deserve an independent state, just as the Jews in Israel deserve theirs. Once the Arab psyche accepts that other nations in the Middle East also each have a right to a state with their respective particularity, the region, by accommodating Arab and non-Arab nationalisms, will be a more peaceful one, and will prosper. In turn the Palestinians will get their state, as Israelis will feel their Jewish state is accepted to jure. They will then conclude that ceding most parts of the West Bank is in their interest, since such withdrawal will no longer beget them Kassams falling on their heads.
