In 1937 the Arabs said no to the Peel Commission partition proposal the Jews said yes to.
In 1947 the Arabs said no to the UN partition plan the Jews said yes to.
From 1948 to 1967 the West Bank and Gaza were ruled by that British Arabian peninsula import to mandatory Palestine, the Hashemite monarchy of Jordan, and Egypt. The so-called Palestinians tactically invented by Arafat and his ally Zahir Muhsein could have had a two state solution but decided not to or knew that Nasser and King Hussein would never have agreed to it. After waging terrorist war on Israel from 1967-70, the PLO provoked the Black September slaughter of 15000 Palestinians by the Jordanian army, proving once again that the biggest killers of Arab Muslims are other Arab Muslims.
In 1979 Anwar Sadat made peace with Israel and offered the PLO a road to statehood. Arafat said no.
In 1991 the PLO supported Saddam and then saw itself backed into a corner from which the only exit was the Oslo Accord. Arafat called it the "peace of the brave" in English, but in Arabic a mere pause (hudna) before striking the final blow later on.
At Camp David in 2000 Arafat said no to Ehud Barak's yes to the Clinton Parameters, which offered a Palestinian state on 94% of the West Bank and Gaza and a capital in East Jerusalem. When asked by the Saudi ambassador Prince Bander if he'd taken the deal, Arafat lied to his face and said yes. Bandar called Arafat's no a betrayal and a crime: "Bandar believed that Arafat’s failure to accept the deal in January of 2001 was a tragic mistake-a crime, really..."https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2003/03/24/the-prince-3
In 2008 Ehud Olmert offered a similar deal to PA president, Holocaust denier, Mahmoud Abbas, who also said no: (https://www.timesofisrael.com/hand-drawn-map-shows-what-olmert-offered-for-peace/):
"EXCLUSIVE: The Deal the Palestinians Rejected, The History That Was Never Made
by Avi Issacharoff | 05.23.13 12:39 am
In a stunning development that calls into question the basic willingness of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to accept any peace agreement with the Jewish state, TheTower.org has obtained a hand-drawn map created by Abbas documenting a 2008 peace proposal outlined to him by then-Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert – which Abbas rebuffed – and has confirmed the existence and details of the settlement offer in an exclusive interview with Olmert.
Given the chaos sweeping the Middle East since the September 2008 offer was rejected by Abbas, and the security deterioration on multiple Israeli borders, Olmert’s offer contains elements likely to be seen as essentially incompatible with Israel’s fundamental security requirements.
The complete transcript of TheTower.org’s interview with Olmert, along with full details of the previously undisclosed plan, will be published on TheTower.org tomorrow. What follows is a summary of what TheTower.org has confirmed.
On September 16, 2008, Olmert hosted Abbas at the Israeli Prime Minister’s residence in Jerusalem. The Israeli prime minister outlined his historic proposal, which would have established a Palestinian state and which would have seen Israel make the most significant concessions ever offered.
The two men discussed Olmert’s proposal in great detail, poring over a large map Olmert unfurled showing the dramatic territorial concessions Israel was prepared to make. Abbas acknowledged the offer and returned to Ramallah.
Once there he immediately convened his associates and redrew the map from memory. The document also included text scrawled on its margins, and on the reverse side, details documenting the rest of Olmert’s offer.
TheTower.org has obtained Abbas’s historic sketch – sketched on the official stationery of the Palestinian president – and is publishing it along with the details of the peace offer it represented. TheTower.org confirmed those details in an interview with the former Prime Minister himself. In that interview, Olmert revealed for the first time the remaining terms of the offer, as well the tortuous path he traveled to reach it.
With remarkable candor, Olmert says that under his plan, Israel would have agreed to swap areas on Israel’s side of the Green Line, while Israel would have retained key communities built after Israel’s victory in 1967. The Israeli territory to be ceded would have been near Afula and Beit She’an in the country’s north, an area north of Jerusalem and in the Judean Desert, in the Lachish region, and adjacent to the Gaza Strip. An underground tunnel would have connected Gaza and the West Bank.
Olmert also shares details about his approach, under which no nation would have asserted complete sovereignty over what is known as the Holy Basin. Instead a five-member group would have overseen the areas including Jerusalem’s Old City, the Mount of Olives, and the City of David, just beyond the Old City walls. Ehud Barak had agreed in principle to cede sovereignty over the area during the 2000 Camp David Summit.
A detailed article will appear tomorrow at TheTower.org revealing never-before reported facts and laying out how the Palestinian leadership once again made sure ‘never to miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.’ Abbas ensured that Palestinian peace with Israel became “History that Was Never Made.”
Abbas' no was ambiguous due to fear of moving ahead without the agreement of Fatah's military wing:

What's clearly documented is that the source of "no" from 1937 to 2008 is on one side: the Arabs.
