I can agree it could help to get a solution to the Palestinian issue but I actually feel the USA and to a degree the UK too have failed to really come up with a satisfactory outcome to the negotiations as to that.
I could never agree that Israel is a blight on the planet,There are likely a majority of Israeli's in Israel who would love to be able to exist in peace and not have threats of war going on all the time as to it.
With respect too, even with a Palestinian solution between Israel and the Palestinians,I very much doubt that will stop the tensions in the main in the Middle East as to countries like Iran,who are against Israel even being there at all.

The way Israel is governed is tantamount to an apartheid state like pre Mandela South africa. The Palestinian Israelis are treated like 2nd class citizens and the Palestinians are treated worse than animals.
And funnily enough they are all semites so have no grounds for being racist.
Fact is Israel are not willing to allow Muslims to share any power in "their" land even if it was stolen from the Palestinians in the first place.
Ordinary Israelis are apologists for their Govt's they know deep down they are living on stolen land and know they have to support their Govt and it's armies to keep the status quo.
America knows it must support Israel financially and politically to keep Israel as the only Hegemon in the area so the US has an ally on the ground so to speak. It's all politics really but tell that to the innocent Palestinians who are brutalised daily and for decades. not much fun for them.
This is why Israel is hated by most if not all Arab Countries and Countries with Shiite populations like Iran.
This is why the US is hated in equal measure because they prop up this illegal state.
When people condone Israel and lay the blame at Hamas or Hezbollah they are showing extreme ignorance and don't want to see the truth that is right in front of their faces.
so yes the "tensions" as you put it will take years if not decades to subside because the damage done to generations of Palestinian families will take that long to be repaired.
