I've yet to see any reason why any POTUS has sought to get in the middle of negotiations but I don't see this as being a right decision at all. I don't really see it as much of a right vs. wrong thing as it is a the borders are what they are type thing.

I think that's the practical approach... ignoring right/wrong and good/bad

Israel will not accept undefensable borders (in a military sense) as this invites invasion which defeats the purpose of stability and peace.

The Palestinians have to start with recognizing Israel's right to exist.

Israel may well simply declare what they wish the borders to be and abandon the land outside the borders and tell the Palestinians to do what the wish with the land and let them deal as best they can. Seems like that's, in effect, what they have done over the past decade.
