I thought the latest suggestion from Saudi-Arabia about setting up a Palestinian state on the West Bank and Gaza also included an acknowledgement that Palestinians from what is now Israel (the Israel of 1948) can't return to their original homes. Of course, such a concession is inevitable.

I hadn't heard that. If it's true, it's a good offer that the US ought to get behind. Of course, it's less than the Israelis want, but that's how you get an agreement between two sides. Of course, the Israelis would have to insist on the West Bank being demilitarized, given the map of pre-1967 Israel.

PS - don't expect Likud to take it. Any peace process is wasted with them in power. Probably the next gov't will be Labour, but can things hold out that long?

Reality is for those who cannot cope with Middle-earth.
