What would happen if…?
Just for 30 days, the entire world butted out of the Israel-Palestinian conflict. No Western influence, not Arab/Muslim league influence. Nothing. For 30 days, there'd be an invisible wall around the area; no other people would be allowed to be involved. No condemning and no praising.
What would happen?

Because of people like those who answered (who aren't living there) making false (that's the key, so much generalized ranting inaccuracies) accusations at Israel to supposedly support Palestinians... it does create support for the extremist ideology among them and stop the moderates from getting their voices heard.
In 30 days, not much. In 3 years, very possibly a peace deal. First Palestinians would have to regain Israeli's trust by shifting their ideology from "get rid of Israel" to "2-state." Israel was ready for 2-state (majority support) and only thing stopping them is what happened when they pulled out of Gaza and Lebanon. Namely missiles at Israel, invasions, military buildups on the border. So a West Bank pull out is too dangerous. (Israel already made the shift that's needed -- they got it thrown back at them, and are now skiddish.)
With a good start of that shift among Palestinians, you'd see Israeli pressure to agree to a settlement land swap for some, and removal for others. Palestinians would have to agree to let some Jews remain in their country as citizens (Jews purchased that land). Currently they won't.
Then a moderate Palestinian leadership could immerge based on popular support... with support from Israel against the Fatah corruption etc.. And a geninue movement forward could take root. Palestinian people, I believe would support it.
It would be undermined as soon as an American president decided to distract from problems at home by demanding something unreasonable of the Israelis. Or the Arab countries to distract from problems at home by pressuring Fatah or Hamas, and picked sides. And it's be back where it is now.
Add:
Israel offered 95% of what Arafat asked for. He walked out without a response. It was much more than ever offered before, yet Palestinians without a word responded with a 5 year terrorism intifada war.

I think in this scenario the rest of the world will be too busy burning to care about either the Israelis or the Palestinians :P.

Palestinians will ship the Boat Docking Yiddishers back to where they came from and then they will welcome the ethnically cleansed Palestinians back to Palestine. Zionists that apologize sincerely for the crimes and massacres committed against Palestinians and abandon Zionism may stay.

nothing actually.
it would stay stagnatic as the public opinion in Israel won't allow population swaps, and the palestinians have already rejected every peace offer.
