Bravo
At last some progress.
So what is stopping this from taking place.
I just spotted this piece on the BBC web site Obama and ME
For me its an accurate portrayal of recent events, and it tends to lay blame at the Israeli door, simply because it is only within Israels power to make these things happen.
To the outside world it appears as though Israel simply does not want to allow Palestine to exist, the settlements are the best example of this.
Everyone is asking Israel to make peace... but they refuse.
I agree with you that there needs to be an international peacekeeping force stood between the 2 factions for quite a long time.
Perhaps America could stop funding the IDF and instead pay for a special force to safeguard Israels borders, but not controled by Israel.
GAZA STRIP, Nov 22 (Reuters) - Israeli planes carried out air strikes against targets in the Gaza Strip on Sunday, injuring seven Palestinians, Palestinian medical workers said.

Hamas says it has agreed with other Palestinian militant groups in Gaza to stop firing rockets into Israel.
But there are some brave soldiers that are part of the IDF
JERUSALEM — Two Israeli soldiers were sentenced to 30 days in jail on Monday for refusing to take part in the evacuation of a wildcat Jewish settlement in the occupied West Bank, a military spokesman said.
The two soldiers of the Naschshon battalion held up a sign opposing the operation and "refused to follow orders" at the outpost near the Palestinian city of Hebron, he said.
Twenty-five Israeli reservists, including some officers, have signed a petition asking that they not have to take part in any evacuation of Jewish settlements

I also noticed that your list of proposed actions lists only things to be done by Israel. Are the Palestinians required to do nothing? Maybe THEY ought to consider the following:
Stop launching rockets into Israel targeting innocent civilians
Stop promoting terror groups like Hamas
Stop blaming Israel and anyone else for all of their problems
Stop teaching their children to hate an kill Israelis
Start acting like civilized people and honor their agreements
Start taking action to control their own people
Start using all of the money sent to them to actually benefit their own people rather than allowing their so called leaders to divert it to personal foreign bank accounts.

What the poster of this FAILS to mention is that was in response to rocket fire from Gaza.
If there are no attacks from terrorists then there will be no response.
JERUSALEM — A Palestinian rocket was fired Saturday from the Gaza Strip into Israel without causing casualties or damage, the Israeli military said.
Israel's military says more than 270 rockets and mortar shells have been fired into the Jewish state since the end in January its war on militants in the Palestinian territory controlled by the Islamist movement Hamas.
