Let climate change make Israel uninhabitable and watch everyone on both sides try to immigrate to other locations where they die against a border fence with people from other countries.
Not a great solution, but it is how I expect it to play out. Otherwise, the problem has proven itself intractable for centuries.
Israel has only been around since like 1948. So... not even a hundred years yet.
Disputes between the various flavors of Abrahamic religions predate Israel and will never be resolved. Even if you want to limit it to just Palestine/Israel, there were protests in the 1920s about the British preferential treatment of Jews over Arabs well before Israel became official. The wailing wall was built in 19 BCE (predating Islam), so the origins of the dispute go way, way back. Both sides have been in the area for effectively forever.
I'm not well versed enough to give a proper counter argument.
But I do feel like there could/should be a distinction made between the zionism of the late 1800's that paved the way for what we call Israel today and various religious or cultural groups wanting to lay claim to various historical locations throughout history.
