Their neighbours would have to be quite desperate to think that embracing Israel and the west is still their best option, but if they do it’d probably be for economic reasons, and/or perhaps fears of retaliation

Not quite. Israel managed to get the Arab states on their side, and the US is helping using aid (this is why Egypt is helping Israel in its blockade of Gaza, for instance). Arab leaders aren't victims of an oppressive international order; they're willing traitors.

When you look at the amount of suffering other countries in the region, all anti-zionists, had/have to go through, i won't blame some of them to conclude that it'd be better for everyone to just draw a line on the past and accept Israel.
They may think that they're entitled to something in exchange, but that they're not united/strong enough to impose their will or 'reject their alliance with'/'put more&more pressure on' the west. So be it then if it's a sacrifice worth making.
