Not a big deal. Bibi has supported a two state solution. The Trump plan calls for a two state solution. This gives Israel four years to strengthen ties with an assortment of Arab states. And non Arab states, like Serbia, Kosovo, Greece and Cyprus. What's missing are the palestinians. This gives them another four years to negotiate a solution before one is imposed on them. And in four years their support will likely be limited to Iran and maybe Iraq and Syria. With nothing concrete to earn their support.

“This gives them (the Palestinians) another four years to negotiate a solution before one is imposed on them.”

This reminds me of the Iran Nuclear Deal (JCPOA) - in reverse.

Everybody gets to go on doing business behind the fig leaf that their issue is being addressed, when in reality, they are allowing it to be resolved in the opposite manner, at a date certain in the future. All they get on the issue itself (Iranian nukes or Israeli annexation), is a delay, in return for effectively ceding the issue.
