I will be doing the mid east next year at some point including time in Palestine, and have done similar research, but cannot speak from first hand experience. International drivers licence can't hurt, I've got mine. It is not a big cost. Don't worry about translations of the other documents or a carnet of course.
I think there is a fine line between paying full costs and bargening them down a bit. Depends on each situation, and you don't want to get yourself into too much trouble, but you can try. Again, no first hand experience. Have a good trip!
