An offer was made to the Palestinians for a state, on 96% of the existing territory occupied by the Palestinians, with 4% of Israel to be given
"You know those people who have been murdering your civilians? They'll stop if you give them 4% of your country."
Who would take that deal? Imagine if we asked Poland in the 1930s to just give 4% of their land to Germany. Germany would take the 4% and then proceed to invade anyway.
