The Occupied Territories Are the Biggest Prison on Earth

Yes, there a BIG prerequisite here... A very BIG prerequisite!!!
Palestinians have little experience with the Western nations (generally but not entirely the Allied Powers) long history of sovereignty and statehood ⇒ and are thus not prepared to adhere to the Western insistence on the inviolability of existing borders.
Like Palestine's international borders and their right to territorial integrity?
(COMMENT)
The "right to territorial integrity" presupposes that the Arab Palestinians actually have some sovereign territory to which it can apply integrity.
The notion that the --- existence of a Palestinian State --- must have territorial integrity is based on the presumption that the Palestinian State actually has territory over which it has supreme authority and has the military-political, diplomatic or economic power it maintains it its authority, or allies or alliances as proxy defenders, that assure its existence and prevent interference from other states.
The "right to territorial integrity" does the Arab Palestinians if they have no territory to apply integrity to..
With the Possible Exception of Area "A" --- I find it hard to identify any territory that meets that criteria. At some point in time (now, a year, a decade, a century --- from now) the Arab Palestinians must actually demonstrate that they actually have:
(1) that States are juridically equal;
(2) that each State enjoys the right inherent in full sovereignty;
(3) that the boundaries of the State is respected by other and control by them;
(4) that the State should, under international order, comply faithfully with its international duties and obligations.
Just My Thought,
Most Respectfully,
