As everyone can see, a State based on current PA land is not viable: no resources, no outlet and a merger into Israel is suicide for Israel. So, yes, the PA merges into Jordan. A bribe will be needed and giving the entity a seaport south of Ashdod with a dedicated train/road link to the PA (subsurface viaduct ) plus a pile of startup cash might be enough.

> What is clear, though, is that Israel is digging its own grave by continuing the settlement misadventure.

Nah, they are not digging a grave, they are digging a foundation. They are playing the long game, planning decades ahead, planning to squeeze out all Palestinans until they can control 100% of the land. And it will work. It is working. Why would they stop now?
