Palestinians were offered (and rejected) a sovereign independent state so many times in the past that it should come as no surprise that they've done it again. Nevertheless, I believe that Israel should pull out of the West Bank anyway, with or without Abbas' approval. Israel should finish building the security wall/fence, declare it (unilaterally, if necessary) a border and keep it closed until the relations between Israel and the entity on the other side will justify this border to be opened.
