Actually, the "land" belongs to God. It is because they have "divided my land" (Joel 3:2), that God will bring all the nations of the world there for Armegeddon.

The U.N. being involved will help that to happen, IMHO. All the nations will already be united, getting to the war will be the next step.

Jerusalem will be the big problem, as also prophecied, explicitly for this time we are in and entering into:

Zechariah 12:3
And in that day I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all peoples; all who lift it or burden themselves with it shall be sorely wounded. And all the nations of the earth shall come and gather together against it.

The Muslim Pals don't have any real respect for Jerusalem, they just don't want the Jews to have it. The demon behind Islam lusts for full control, and the fact that Israel and Jerusalem has been taken from his grasp, has infuriated him.

He knows his time is short.
