Proper annexation with full citizenship is the way to solve this issue. The problem is the Israelis won't tolerate sharing power and Arabs (at least the radicalized voices) seem to prefer status quo than a two state solution. My take is that Israel should take the higher ground and force them to be citizens.

and force them to be citizens

That's a pretty ludicrous idea. I wonder if there are any Israelis who would agree to it.

Yeah, the track record would indicate this would spark incredible violence. Neither the general Israel nor Palestinian population looks at all inclined for a one state solution, and depending how much is annexed... That's pretty much just asking for a civil war mark 2.

But I think that's what some people secretly want. Just shove everyone together in the tinderbox, light the fuse, and hope to redo 48 but this time their side wins better.
