No, the only real way out of this situation is for Israeli government to actually get serious about making a deal along what has been proposed before.

Settlement building has gotten so bad in the W.Bank that any chance of a Palestinian State is close to death. Take a look at this map and see for yourself. https://www.ochaopt.org/content/west-bank-access-restriction...

If the PA collapses, Israel will have a disaster on it's hands whereby it (openly) goes full apartheid or it goes to a Federal system whereby it no longer has Jewish majority.

On the International Law question,"the position that the 4th Geneva Convention does apply to the West Bank, Gaza and Golan Heights is supported by the International Committee of the Red Cross, UN bodies, and the International Court of Justice."

The question wasn’t if it applies but if it’s in an explicit violation.

The 4th Geneva convention has allows for rellocation and deportation of the local population both within and outside the occupied area in support of military operations.

And why the rest would be a problem for you? BDS doesn’t want a peace treaty in its own FAQ it states that its demands are not tied to any peace process between the Palestinians and the Israelis nor will it stop if a peace is reached until all its demands are met amongst those are a full right of return and the abolishment of Israel as a Jewish national state.

The PA collapsing is essentially a dream case scenario for extreme groups like BDS since it will escalate the situation further.

No the 4th Geneva Convention doesn't allow for it.........

DEPORTATIONS, TRANSFERS, EVACUATIONS ARTICLE 49

Individual or mass forcible transfers, as well as deportations of protected persons from occupied territory to the territory of the Occupying Power or to that of any other country, occupied or not, are prohibited, regardless of their motive.

Nevertheless, the Occupying Power may undertake total or partial evacuation of a given area if the security of the population or imperative military reasons so demand. Such evacuations may not involve the displacement of protected persons outside the bounds of the occupied territory except when for material reasons it is impossible to avoid such displacement. Persons thus evacuated shall be transferred back to their homes as soon as hostilities in the area in question have ceased.

The Occupying Power undertaking such transfers or evacuations shall ensure, to the greatest practicable extent, that proper accommodation is provided to receive the protected persons, that the removals are effected in satisfactory conditions of hygiene, health, safety and nutrition, and that members of the same family are not separated.

The Protecting Power shall be informed of any transfers and evacuations as soon as they have taken place. The Occupying Power shall not detain protected persons in an area particularly exposed to the dangers of war unless the security of the population or imperative military reasons so demand.

The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.
