it will abandon settlements for peace, just like the did in the Sinai with Egypt and how Sharon, an arch conservative, pulled all Israli settlers out of Gaza.

Additionally, any peace could transfer sovereignty over certain settlement blocks to Palestinian control in any final deal.

The issue is many, like yourself, expect Israel to accept unlimited numbers of Palestinians which constitutes national, ethnic and religious suicide, but are perfectly fine with Arab and Muslim territories being completely judenrein as a matter of law.
