It doesn't make sense to say what I would do, as I haven't lived there, as either side. Saying what you'd do and what you'd actually do if you were really there are very different.

Looking at the map of Gaza and the West Bank my very simplistic thoughts are that it would be better to have all Palestinian land in one contiguous mass, the West Bank was suposed to be Palestinian, but the Israelis now claim a big part of it as theirs . An international body could redraw the map and enforce the border. But judging by how all the countries have stayed out of the fight , Palestine is not worth helping, whereas Israel is

That we made a right mess of reorganising all the regions' borders in the mid 20th century. And then left the locals to sort it all out when things got difficult.
