>There were an only couple of negotiations

Over a period of 30+ years.

>We don't even know the details

We do if we care to look. There's been a lot published over the years.

>it would be more like a protectorate, with no self-defense capabilities etc

Like Costa Rica? The basic condition is for the state to be demilitarized. We saw what happens when it isn't.

>the last attempt was 2008

Wrong. Even if we don't count Trump's plan, there were the Obama-Kerry negotiations in 2015.

>with basically no real political support

Yeah, there's very little political support for the Palestinian Authority which last ran an election in... 2006 was it?

>I mean, what are the other options?

Sometimes the situation just sucks. There are no good options for anyone given the people being what they are.
