Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas appears to have confirmed reports that the Trump administration has earmarked Abu Dis, a town adjacent to Jerusalem, as the capital of a future Palestinian state, during a speech to the PLO Central Council.

"Jerusalem is the eternal capital of the state of Palestine," Abbas told delegates at a meeting on Sunday called to discuss the United States' recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. "We are at a critical moment and our future is in danger ... we are currently being offered Abu Dis as our capital."

Simple solution, merge Abu Dis into Jerusalem, and poof you have Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine.

If Abbas thinks the Palestinians are going to get political control over the old city, well then we might as well forget about any chance of a two state solution in his lifetime.
