#4  Jerusalem is non-negotiable. Nor is the disarmament of a Paleo state. Sinc bot are non-starters to the Paleos, let's get started on the killing and persuading. The Paleos will only give up on their demands and terrorism when they are TOTALLY demoralized and defeated - at home and among their UN enablers. I suspect it will be tough and a lot of impotent denunciations among posturing coward dictatorships

#3  As I recall, in June, 1967 Israel declared the united Jerusalem to be their permanent capital, forever and non-negotiable. This has been repeated at intervals since. The mistake in recent years was to open the discussion to a possible division of Jerusalem in the final settlement with the Palestinians, after everything else had been worked out. Not smart. Prime Minister Netanyahu has returned to the original position.

#2  Israel should never give up Jerusalem. If the Arabs want it, they need to come get it.

#1  The bottom line is not only should the Jews declare Jerusalem entirely theirs, but they should also nationalize all gentile holy sites, declaring them to be property of the state, though available at generous terms for lease to those who would use them.

This would set up an enormous howl, but the bottom line is that the only foreign territory any nation can permit in its borders are embassies, or very limited treaty use. By not nationalizing them, other religions and countries can pretend that they are their, not Israel's property, and aggress against Israel about them.
