re: Israel shouldn't agree to this, and will never agree to this. Jerusalem is Israel's most important city.
Then Israel is ultimately doomed. Israel only friend is the US. Inevitably, at some point the US will decline. ANd that's the end of Israel.
And the US may decide before that that constant hassle with Arabs are not worth the price it pays. The Jewish Lobby in this country has a lot of influence, but it doesn't have anything like a majority of votes.

some history: when un voted for israel the 1st country that voted for israel was not USA but USSR. USSR wanted a friendship of Israel and not arabs but israel chose to support US interest in the region. It is not one sided relationship between Israel and USA as you paint it. It is cooperation between friendly countries but do not forget that israel is a sovereign country and will act as such.
In return for US' help Israel provides stability in the region. Recall that when syria wanted to take over Jordan, even though at that time Jordan was main base of all operations against israel, Israel's airforce bailed Jordan out. Israel also bombed iraqis nuclear reactor and prevented iraq from developing nuclear weapons. And more recently, during gulf war 2, israel was watching US back against iran.

and finally what would it say about US if we abandon our friends in a time of need
