There was 20 years of occupation before there was a Hamas.
Are Israeli settlements illegal and damaging to peace prospects?
Whose territory did Jordan occupy?

BLUF: Peace only comes when all the parties to conflict cease hostilities.

Cessation of Hostilities is something that the Aarab Palestinians have to work-on. But I agree with the implication that our friend "Hollie" makes: The Arab Palestinians of the West Bank, Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip simply do not want a peaceful outcome.
A large percentage (a majority) of Arab Palestinians support one or more Jihadist, Fedayeen Activist, Hostile Insurgents, Radicalized Islamic Followers, and other Asymmetric Fighters (parliamentarians). The general population of the West Bank provides cover and concealment in their communities to both members of the Islamic Resistance Movement (HAMAS) and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ). Both of which are designated Terrorist entities in North America and the European Union.
Just within the last couple weeks, the Border Police put the habius grabbus on two mid-level parliamentarians, Abdel-Jaber Fuqaha (HAMAS Leader from Ramallah), and Ahmed Atoun (HAMAS leader from Jerusalem). The population is providing support to them. And those that don't are giving tacit approval for their activities.
The Arab Palestinians (as a culture and people) don't want to expend any effort in building an environment for peace. They are complainers but not workers for peace. They want to have what the Israelis have, but they don't want to work for it.
The Arab Palestinians sit at ≈ the 37th Percentile on the Human Development Index (HDI) scale. That is (for anyone that has been there) about a hair better than Iraq and a hair below Vietnam. By comparison, Israel sits at ≈ the 88th Percentile on the HDI scale.
Peace is the first prerequisite for positive development. Currently, Palestine has a GDP → per capita: ≈ $5000 Annually; compared to Israel with ≈ $36,00+. The GDP - per capita (PPP) 2020 is seven-time that of Palestine.
Most Respectfully,

What makes you say that?The Arab Palestinians of the West Bank, Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip simply do not want a peaceful outcome.
