"Someone who accepts the Jewishness of the state [of Israel] betrays Allah, his messenger and believers. The significance of the Jewishness of the state is that the Palestinians don't exist. …it means recognizing Jewish existence in the land of Palestine," he said. "Even recognition of two states is a crime against the Palestinian cause. The state that the Jews want is a state in which we will be servants, messengers, of the Jews. And one who accepts this is betraying Allah, his messenger, and [Muslim] believers. We will not accept and not recognize a state for the Jews here on Palestinian land! We will not recognize it!

Where would the proposal to divide Palestine into Jewish and Palestinian states have placed Jerusalem?
Jerusalem would have been a "corpus separatum" completely outside of Israeli and Palestinian jurisdiction and under an internationally led governance.
