You are ducking the question.RE: Palestinians Massing At The Israeli Border
⁜→ P F Tinmore, et al,
This is a loaded question. It is like asking: “When Did You Stop Beating Your Wife?” Up and until The Seventh Arab Summit Conference (Rabat, Morocco 28 October 1974) there was no political body called "Palestinians." It was a regional colloquialism used by certain Arabs to distinguish themselves from other Arabs. Up until The Seventh Arab Summit, the Arab League through the Arab High Committee (AHC) represented those that called themselves "Palestinians."
So your question is only valid from a time beginning after 28 October 1974. when the Arab League established independent national authority (INA). The Arab League officially recognized the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people in any Palestinian territory that is liberated.
As a result out of the proceedings of The Seventh Arab Summit the UN acknowledges the proclamation of the State of Palestine by the Palestine National Council on 15 November 1988; see A/RES/43/177 Question of Palestine 15 December 1988.
(COMMENT)Did the Palestinians lose any wars or sign any of these treaties. Or, was it all done by external interference?The "borders" as outlined in Part II • Boundaries, of A/RES/181(II), have been overtaken by even, having been modified by various wars, international agreements, and treaties.
The Israeli War of Independence (1948) was fought and the four Principle Parties (Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon and Syria) for the Arab League came to four separate agreements as outlined in my Posting of #2054.
Similarly, an independent national authority (INA) for the Palestinians did not exist during the period of the 1967 Six-Day War, or the 1973 Yom Kipper War. That would have made participation and relevance impossible. After 1974 when the Arab League established the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people in any Palestinian territory that is liberated.
✦ So I ask you to remember: What "Palestinian territory that is liberated" since 1974?
◈ Area "A" came under full civil and security control by the Palestinian Authority in 1995 was an outcome of the Oslo Accords.
◈ The Gaza Strip became a self-governing Palestinian subdivision corresponding to an autonomous province under the Islamic Resistance Movement (HAMAS) as an outcome of the Israeli dismantling of all settlements in the Gaza Strip and a unilaterial disengagement in 2005.
The PLO/Palestinian Authority (PLO/PA) has an on again, off again, relationship with HAMAS. The PLO/PA cannot say that it has sovereign control over Gaza. But, for all practical purposes, the PLO/PA has full right and power of a governing body to govern Area "A" without any external interference.

Did the Palestinians lose any wars or sign any of these treaties. Or, was it all done by external interference?
Arabs-Moslems most recently lost a war in 2014. Well, maybe just another skirmish at the end of the most recent Hudna.
What governing body could have / would have been able to sign anything on behalf of the Arabs-Moslems occupying the land area called Palestine?
The answer is none, but you knew that.
