If they are going to get a negotiated deal who are they going to negotiate with after decades inflaming the Palestinian people through abuse and weakening Palestinian leaders and groups to the point that they are not capable of negotiating for the Palestinian people????
Israel is not abusing the Palestinian people.
As for negotiations, they are at an end now. There are no plans for more negotiations.

The only thing Israel is doing to the Palestinians is imposing security measures to prevent the Palestinians from murdering innocent people.
I doubt there is any Israeli master plan. However, things are shaping up to work out well for them.
Europe is going to recognize and create a Palestinian state, but since negotiations are at an end, that Palestinian state will be composed only of what land the Palestinians already possess. That will leave Israel with much more land than they would have ended up with had the Palestinians been willing to negotiate for 1967 borders.
