The obvious solution to the problem is for the US taxpayers to give the Palestinians the three billion dollar welfare payment they would otherwise be giving to Israel this year (and maybe in future years as well), and make it dependent on the Palestinians holding free and open elections to decide who will be the next president. Then, Israel can get out of the West Bank and Gaza entirely, and leave the Palestinians in peace to get on with the business of building their country.

Three billion should more than compensate for the missing 300 million.
