#1 Why the PLO was given power in the first place is something I could never understand. It was an organization that represented refugees and not the people living in Palestine. It was noticeably more corrupt and nasty than what it replaced, which was probably no great shakes.
The refugees so-called have gotten a bad deal not from Israel but from everyone else. Because of the loony UNRWA policies which gave them cradle to grave support presumably for ever, their host countries treated them like dirt, and still do. And the rich Persian Gulf countries got rid of them after they attempted to take over Kuwait. But the PLO cannot make peace without doing something for the refugees, and nobody knows what can be done for the refugees,

The Arab host countries would have treated them like dirt anyway, daniel. The refugees were not related to anyone in the host country, so they had, and still have, no value except as propaganda.

#3 If the refugees were just allowed to become citizens wherever they happen to be, they would be no more trouble than any other sub-population in the Arab world. The problem is that they are required by the world to accept nothing less than full ownership of a Judenfrei Israel, which of course the Jews will never accept.

The PLO was given power because A) the world required it, and B) otherwise there was no one to negotiate with except the village headmen.
