Granted, Israel has made some seriously bad decisions since.
No its never been offered. What youre referring to is the deal where the PLO would be given control of Gaza and a part of the West Bank which Bill Clinton tried hard to get through.
Having your own state is controlling your own borders and your own air space. Its being allowed to import and export, have your own trade deals e.t.c.
Israel has never allowed the Palestinians to do any of that.
And honestly, theres absolutely nothing stopping them just handing over complete control of the Gaza to the Palestinians right now, and expanding their borders from there. But they simply dont want to do that.
Palestinians also need the Right of Return under international law. Its a human rights abuse that they dont get that. Whilst any Jew anywhere in the world DOES GET the Right to Return (even though they were never there in the first place), and even get paid to do so.
