Try viewing the events between the River and the sea over the past month from a Palestinian POV. Three Israeli teens were murdered by still unknown killers, and elite Jews from Bibi down began calling for revenge. IDF soldiers posted selfies to their FB pages calling for death to ALL Arabs. IDF raids on the West Bank killed a dozen Arabs with 200 more arrested. Hamas targets in Gaza were struck repeatedly and some of its leaders were arrested. Hence the rockets you mention which so far have produced no casualties and little damage.More than 240 rockets have struck Israel in the past 4 weeks.........100 since yesterday.
Hamas is finished in Gaza if Israel goes in with a ground incursion. Then, the only question remains, who ultimately fills the power vacumn left by the eradication of Hamas?
From the Arab POV, Bibi launched this entire vendetta to drive a wedge between Hamas/ Fatah and any "peace" negotiations designed to result in a two-state solution. Jews have never intended to share Palestine, and now they have the military might and diplomatic cover to make their Land of Israel real.
As far as your comment about Israel never intending to share Palestine, you do realize that years ago had Israel wanted to, could have completely taken over Palestine and kept it for themselves.
And please note, Palestine would have done the same thing to Israel years ago had they had the capability.
Bottom line is, why should Israel EVER cooperate with any government or leadership that does not recognize Israel's right to exist ?
