Settlements

Israeli settlements seem to be on no man's land and looks like Palestine do not have much to lose by it. It is best that Palestine resolves the border dispute as soon as possible so that they can really defend something. As long as there is no real Palestinian state, Israel is free to take what they will with very little resistance. Its best to form the states and then deal with encroachments as every state should.
Anyways once the border issue is resolved any undesirable settlements will automatically cease to exist. Palestinians have to concentrate on the bigger picture.

The Israel Palestine conflict has to be resolved with a little bit of give and take. Some argue that it was wrong for Israel to happen at the expense of Palestine. But this was another era when boundaries were largely determined by the Britain. The map of the world today is still what Britain drew so many years ago. Boundaries are never permanent and depends on the politics of the era. At this point of time Palestinians need a real homeland where they can live with dignity and security. They need to negotiate and looks like the tide is turning in their favor lately. They must make best use of this opportunity.
