I think a third-party peace-keeping force would have to have the right to arrest, confine, prosecute, and execute or imprison terrorists. I think the Palestinians would have to agree to that. Individual suicide bombers may be hard to catch in advance, but the terrorist infrastructure is at least known in part. Israel just arrested a lot of people they'd had on their list for a while, which demonstrates that they have good intelligence they would have to share with the peace-keepers. And the peace-keepers would have to be more than just border guards. In other words, the Palestinians, and the Israelis, would have to give up a little bit of the prerogatives of a sovereign nation to the third party, which would be, no matter how characterized, something in the nature of a UN organization. But it wouldn't be Syrians and Libyans, at least.
