IDF kills Hezbollah's top commander

32. Israel didn't take an inch of the land designated for the Palestinian state.

Israel won it in a war that started with the combined armies of five Arab League states crossing the borders of Israel adopted by the UN Resolution 181, and invaded Israel. The Arabs wanted that land for themselves. All of it. And the Palestinian leaders went along with them. They lost. An unexpected but consequential outcome.

The myth of the Arabs owning 90% of land in Mandatory Palestine is pure bullshit. A map of the territory prepared for the UN shows that ownership of the land is equally divided between Jews, Arabs and public lands belonging to neither.

After the Arab League forces suffered a humiliating defeat, Israel signed armistice agreement with the Arab League states which established the pre-1967 Israel border, with the remainder of what was designated to be the Palestinian Stare by the UN, namely the West Bank and Gaza, being promptly annexed by Jordan and Egypt, respectively. By then, 48 of the 60 UN member states recognized Israel de jure within its armistice borders.

The territory gained by Israel in this war was roughly equivalent to the territories annexed by Jordan and Egypt. Not so good for Palestinians indeed. They were not "allowed" to keep any of that territory. People still can't imagine why the Palestinians rejected the UN offer.

Palestinians as a group never had their own territory, and they wasted several opportunities to get it.

You have no point. It is all based on made up bullshit that ignores 80% of the facts and spins the rest beyond recognition.
