As to the potential protests, there was never a state of Palestine, it was simply a vacant space that mostly emptied when the Roman decided to get ride of their version of the "jewish problem" and had not some jews decided to move there and re-establish a jewish homeland it would never have become a state of Palestine as the surrounding Arab countries simply wanted the land for themselves, not to "liberate a state that did not exist. Once the British mandate ended .. there was never any way that they would have permitted another Arab state in the area known as Palestine.
