It depends on where this "Palestinian State" would be.
However, assuming that the "Palestinian State" refers to a Palestinian State made according to the 1967 borders with acceptable landswaps, the benefits to Israelis and Palestinians become rather simple. The benefit that accrues to Israelis is that Israel can remain a Jewish-majority state and therefore fulfill the mission for which it was created: to be a Jewish and Democratic State. The benefit that accrues to the Palestinians is that they finally have a state in which to determine their own future as opposed to the way that Israel and the other Arab States have treated them.
The disadvantages are rather different. In the case of Israel, Israelis fear that an independent Palestinian State will allow for the development of terrorist Anti-Zionist groups that will target Israeli civilians. Israeli Settlers will most likely be ordered to leave the Palestinian State and those areas will become essentially Judenrein. Finally, Jews will likely lose access to the innumerable Jewish Holy Sites in the West Bank (such as Joseph's Tomb in Nablus, the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron, the Tomb of Rachel, etc.) In the case of Palestine, Palestinians will lose the complete Right of Return and will have to accept that some of them will never be able to live in the house that their grandparents or great-grandparents lived in. Palestine most likely will be a demilitarized region, which means that Palestinians would require faith in their allies and protectors to maintain a proper defense.

∙ 10y agoThe benefits and problems to Israelis and Palestinians concerning the creation of a Palestinian State along the 1967 borders with acceptable landswaps are relatively straightforward.

Are the Israelis and Palestinians fighting the Muslims?
No. Neither of them are fighting "the Muslims" as a group. Most Palestinians are Muslims anyway. The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict is between two national groups: Israelis who are primarily Jewish against Palestinians who are primarily Muslim. However, neither Israeli nor Palestinian forces have declared that they are fighting Islam. There are numerous mosques in both countries where Muslim worshipers freely pray to God.
Do the Israelis and Palestinians live in conflict or in harmony?
Generally speaking, the Israeli-Palestinian Relationship is one of struggle and hardship.
Are Palestinians citizens of Israel?
Yes and No. There are roughly 1.35 million Palestinian citizens of Israel, called "Arab-Israelis" by Jewish Israelis. However, this is a small part of the estimated world population of 11 million Palestinians.
Is it common for Israelis and Palestinians to marry with each other?
No. It is very rare, but the probability increases if you talking about Arab Israelis and Palestinians (as opposed to Jewish Israelis and Palestinians).
How did the palestinians take hostage of the Israelis?
It depends on the hostage crisis (1972 Munich or 1979 Entebbe or Gilad Shalit). In most cases, Palestinian Militants with guns attacked unarmed Israelis or surprised armed Israelis in well-planned attacks.

Should the USA try to bring peace to the Israelis and Palestinians?
Why not? More peace is always better. However, the USA cannot solve the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. Only Israelis and Palestinians can do that, but the USA can provide the necessary guarantees and resources to make a peace plan viable.

The conflict in Israel today is between which two religious groups?
It depends which "Conflict in Israel" the question is asking about. If it is asking about the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, the conflict is, strictly speaking, between Israelis and Palestinians which are national groups, not religious groups. However, the majority of Israelis are Jewish and the majority of Palestinians are Muslim. (However, there are numerous Muslim Israelis, Druze Israelis, and there are both Christian Israelis and Christian Palestinians.) If it is asking about Israel's internal political conflicts, they are often between Secular Jews and Religious Jews.
Does it matter to the Israelis that the Palestinians have a right to exist?
Yes, and Israel recognizes that right. Unfortunately, the Palestinian Authority refuses to recognize Israel's right to exist.
Is Brazil fighting the Palestinian militant group in the Gaza strip?
No. Brazil is not directly involved in any conflict with Israelis or Palestinians and actively recognizes both countries.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a Palestinian state in these areas for both Israelis and Palestinians?
It depends on what "these areas" refer to. However, assuming that "these areas" refers to the 1967 borders with acceptable landswaps, the benefits to Israelis and Palestinians become rather simple. The benefit that accrues to Israelis is that Israel can remain a Jewish-majority state and therefore fulfill the mission for which it was created: to be a Jewish and Democratic State.

In what area were the Palestinian people supposed to live?
It depends entirely on who is doing the supposing. Palestinians argue that they are supposed to live in the places that their families used to live in 1946. Israelis argue that they are supposed to live in Jordan or in the Palestinian Territories.
What was the outcome of the intifada?
The First Intifada resulted in numerous Palestinian and Israeli deaths but culminated in the Oslo Accords, recognizing the Palestinian Right to Self-Determination. The Second Intifada had no positive outcome, only death for both Palestinians and Israelis.
