The blessing of Ishmael was that he would be the father of a great nation, and his descendants would be numerous. He was promised to be a wild man living among his brethren.
One piece of evidence that Abraham loved Ishmael is that he prayed for God's blessing and protection over Ishmael's life. Additionally, Abraham took care of Ishmael, providing for his needs and ensuring his well-being. The Quran also mentions instances where Abraham showed affection and care towards Ishmael.
Ishmael never actually entered Mt. Seir. Jacob's son, Esau, brother of Isaac, was given Mt. Seir for a dwelling place in the Old Testament. This was after Isaac had gotten the blessing that Jacob had intended for Esau.
The Palestinians are descendants of Ishmael, (the son of Hagar & Abram). Being that God had promised Abraham that he would be the father of many nations, God had to keep his covenant by blessing Abraham's seed (Ishmael) though he was not the son promised to Sarah & Abraham. So God promised he would bless Ishmael making him a great nation. (Gen 17: 25 & Gen 25: 12-18). His descendants are considered to be the Arabic People.
