Let's play some 'what if' here.
For the two state solution crowd. Exactly which "palestinian" faction do you think is going to rule over the people? Do you seriously think that Hamas, Hezbollah, and the PLO are going to peacefully resolve that question? The only thing those folks have in common is they hate the Jews more than they hate each other, but not by a huge amount.
Next up, let's pretend the all of the Jews in Israel have been transported to another dimension. Wide open territory. Obviously Hezbollah, Hamas, and the PLO are going to move in and fight for control. But now there's a fourth faction. The 2 million Arabs (Muslims) that live and work in Israel. The ones that decided not to wage war on the Jews. The ones that are part of the fabric of Israeli society. Which of those totalitarian regimes do you think they want to live under? All of the options believe them to be Jew loving apostates and subject to death.
As Billy would say, "But wait, there's more!"
Iran is going to back one of the factions and it doesn't matter which for all intents and purposes. Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia are NOT going to allow Iran to get their foot in the door so they will back the other factions. And we, the US, will have to back one or all of those nations. And then hope/pray the conflict doesn't spread.
If you haven't figured it out by now there is NO simplistic solution to the blood shed in that region of the world. It will continue unabated with or without Israel. With or without a two state (non)solution. The only realistic hope is to allow, and support, Israel in the complete eradication of those political factions. Iran will remain, but they can be dealt with from a distance.
