"There is talk about calm, but a conditioned one. If the occupation meets our conditions, including ending the occupation and releasing all the prisoners, we will be prepared to consider a temporary truce."

A temporary truce if Israel ends the "occupation."

In other words, the fight will go on even if Israel ends the "occupation." If Israel were to withdraw from every square inch of land it captured in 1967, the fight would still go on. The best the Palestinians would offer in exchange for withdrawal would be a temporary truce.

When they refer to "the occupation," they're often referring to the whole state of israel itself.
They don't think any of it has a right to exist.

You know that for a fact? Then Israel could simply re-occupy.

Israel could announce, "In February, we will withdraw from territory "A". With no Palestinian attacks, we will then withdraw from territory "B" in March. No attacks? Territory "C" in April.

Israel could draw this out for years. They won't, because the settlers refuse to leave.
