this is why there will be hell to pay:
The Palestinians seek east Jerusalem as the capital of a future independent state and fear that Trump’s declaration essentially imposes on them a disastrous solution for one of the core issues in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The Palestinians will never have an independent state. That would be a security disaster for Israel, and so they at best will have some limited autonomy, and more likely some broken up territorial status.
Israel cannot risk Hamas bringing in more Iranian missiles and staging them in the West Bank.
