Depends on your perspecive. They are qualified now to ask for access to UN High Courts where they could sue Israel over practically everything. And that will mean even more diplomatic sh!tstorms fore Israel, even more one-sided UN name-calling against Israel, and Israel thus retaliating against the Palestinians by settling in the Westbank even more. Palestinians on their behalf will feel encouraged and rewarded by the world to have have set up maximum demands and not consider any compromises - what they cannot get in negotiations they now will sue Israel for. And Israel will of course not comply because it would be stupid and suicidal to do so. Which means even more diplomatic anger at Israel.
A pressure cooker on the stove.
Or Israel complies with all demands, especially with the riught to unlimited movement into Israel. Then it will have disappeared to be Israel in one generation or so.
So, it means a lot what happened yesterday. It is a major strategic defeat for Israel, with negative longterm consequences, and means an escalation of the mutual hostility.
And all this with Egypt falling more and more under dictatorship by the MB fundamentalists. With the new house rules being passed by the MB council, Egypt already is much more backwardly oriented and tyrannic now as it ever was under Mubarak. The Christians, women and few secular-oriented in Egypt have lost it all.
Nice mixture, Israel, Palestinians, Egypt and all that. Can only become more entertaining. Cheers!
