Israel gets it all--as a down payment on the massively larger debt the Palestinians owe to Israel for (say) 2000 yrs of depriving the Israelis of their land. Once you get past 15-18 digits (all to the left of the decimal, of course), Israel WILL OWN all the land "from the river to the sea". So, be careful for what you ask, it CAN come back and bite you big time.
