Maybe we should put Gaza and Areas A, B and parts of C under another Mandate, or two? Since the Arab Palestinians don't seem to be capable of developing independence on their own, despite decades of financial and political assistance, perhaps it would be best if they had a tutor?
The Mandatory power could make an agreement (peace treaty) with Israel regarding mutual security and borders (a relatively simple process) and then actually occupy the territories (yes, in the real sense of the word and not the fake drivel) while working directly with the Palestinian people to develop their Statehood.
One would hope that once the "Jewish problem" is removed, a fair number of Palestinians would prefer peace and prosperity over continued low-level conflict and would co-operate if the carrot was realistically presented.
While it would be easy to respond that this removes Palestinian agency, please note I am suggesting that the Palestinians who wish to have independence, a State and peace with Israel should be assisted by being given the time and space to act upon that agency, while the terrorist groups are subdued.
