About the only workable solution is to pick some convenient point in the past, such as the 1967 UN resolution borders. Revert everything to that status quo. And enforce it externally, penalizing whichever entity violates those terms. Right to national self defense, in this case, should end at their borders; if you feel a need to strike internally, appeal to the UN, or face sanctions.
At this point, I've lost faith that it could ever be left up to those in the region to settle this in any non-genocidal manner, not without the rest of the world sitting on them both until they simmer down and give it up.
A more ideal solution would be a united state, but I'm betting that'll just be more problematic to try and resolve. A two-state solution is simpler and doesn't really solve anything long-term; it's just sending them both to their metaphorical rooms to think about what they've done.
