If the US vetoes the security council resolution for Palestinian statehood expected to be petitioned this week after a speech by the Palestinian President in the UN next week then there is a 'Plan B' accordint o BBC News online. The Palestinans are going to ask the General Assembly where no veto is possible to raise their status at teh UN to enhanced observer status, on a par with the Vatican. This development would ensure that both the Palestinian Authority and the State of Israel could negotiate a two state solution and outstanding issues between them such as ths status of Jerusalem.
On that last point I would suggest that the Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Ramallah area become an integrated joint capital area or tri city area with a common security force to aid the residents. However that is a bilateral issue under international mediation which enhanced observer status could bring about.
