Because the only way for the Palestinians to get a more secure share of water is through the advancement of the two state solution and diplomacy. Palestine's grim water situation has been greatly exacerbated by the conflict. Peace negotiations are the only sure way to guarantee that Palestine gains access to a secure water supply.
What you're saying makes no sense. It's like asking, "Who would agree to a peace treaty when they're being bombed?" The fact that the Palestinians aren't getting fair access to a shared water supply is a reason TO support a two state solution. Not a reason to oppose it.
