Turkey didn't offer anything but running their own puppet government in north Cyprus that no other nation on the planet recognizes. And unlike Israel, Turks in the mainland don't have to worry about rockets and bombs from north Cyprus like the Israelis do.
Turkey occupies sovereign land they have zero claim to, unlike Israel.
Also, there is/was no sovereign where Israel's military is or isn't WRT the Palestinian territories.
Nevertheless, Israel offered the Palestinians their own self-determination; the genuine type. They rejected it out of hand w/o a counter-offer b/c the leadership still prefers war.

ETA:
As you should know, Cyprus doesn't have complete and exclusive sovereignty over their airspace.
