Few European diplomats believe the Palestinians would be content with such a pullout,

I think they are right about this.

They are right, but so far the Palestinians have not expressed any solution, short of a "final solution", that they would be content with. They had a great shot, and blew it. Now as they descend into chaos and heading towards a civil war, they want Israel to negotiate again?

Let the dust settle first, then negotiate, when they are sure a deal that can stick will be made.
