Excellent And Pragmatic Solution to the long lasting Problem that the Middle East faces. The Arab league, indeed wouldn't have the muscle to offer a permanent solution to the Palestinian Problem by Eradicating Terrorism in Gaza and West Bank. Saudis have so far offered lip service to the Crisis ( May be Trump can pressure then to act upon) . The Qataries are playing two sides. Iran and it's factions has to be dismantled and Israel must control the Gaza Strip unless terrorism eradicated if Hamas and Islamic Jihad has not come to the Solution by leaving the Gaza Strip. Given their Martyr Culture, it's hard to see happening.
A very sound set of proposals. A few points about the wider context might be useful.
The ground is shifting politically in Europe. The paradigm established in the 70s (foreign aid to the Palestinians in return for not being targetted by Al Fatah and its allies) is breaking down due to the extremism of the ummah across Europe itself. Extortion by Resistance Incorporated continues, but the new realism about Islam and its politics is spreading fast. Remigration, forced repatriation en masse are on the agenda and will not go away. Europe will always have its scolds, but they are certain to be balanced, even constrained, by emerging political forces.
The ground is also shifting in the US. Key Clinton era achievements are crumbling. South Africa. NATO's grab for territory in Eastern Europe. Palestinian statehood. The willingness of the US to bank-roll the Palestinian jihad is diminishing fast. Once Trump achieves energy independence or autonomy Washington will be in a vastly stronger position. The ability of the Axis of Resistance to cause mayhem in US cities and campuses also makes Hamas a domestic problem within the US.
The UK itself is weakening fast and London's ability to pester Israel via Jordan and the Palestinians is crumbling. The rise of Russia and India incentivises realism and moderation across Western Asia. The fall of the mullahs in Tehran has begun. Once that regime falls, Israel regains a reliable regional friend.
The losers and fools of Israel's political class may miss their opportunity at first, but their replacements are certain to emerge as required. The logic of the conflict, which is zero-sum, is now crystal clear. There is no going back and there are plenty of reasons to be cautiously optimistic.
Think People are giving Saudi Arabia too much credit. They are runing a defecit that is only getting bigger. As we move forward they will have less and less financial capabilities.
Good point - but I think that is the very reason why Bin-Salman is trying to move Saudi Arabia into the 21st century and to try to build the semblance of a real economy and real country before it is too late.
The Arab League is not a trustworthy partner for anything. Israel has to start now cutting off all aid to Gaza and laying siege to it, which will not end until all hostages are released and Hamas and its allies turned over in abject surrender. Then Israel will exert permanent control over Gaza which will eventually be annexed to Israel and flooded with Jews. The Palestinians who remain will be under permanent Israeli control and their lives so curtailed that they will eventually leave, and they will be free to leave, while in the meantime they will pay their debt to Israel for all the atrocities committed. Israel can raise the prospect of their being returned to all the countries from which Jews have been expelled and keep repeating it until this wonderful idea becomes a reality.

I would love to agree with much of what you said, but Israel is not the US and politics, as they say is the "art of the possible".
