I still think that a serious assurance of something like a timetable for a Palestinian state with something like the Saudi Prince's terms would offer sufficient hope within the Palestinian population to seriously delegitimize not only suicide bombing but movements who use it.

Why on earth would such a successful result delegitimize the tactic? Confirm it, rather. Now, if somehow the Palestinians had a prosperous state, and the bombers threatened to take it away again, it might be different. But the militants don't really have any stake in peace, do they, and are ideologically opposed to the idea. Remember how Hamas started the bombings in 1994.
