They weren’t part of the application, so probably not. Hamas is mostly limited to Gaza now anyway, so if anything this will push towards a three state solution.
It’s still a problem, because Abbas particularly asked for Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem all together.
A three state solution is actually probably a good idea. However, Israel’s government is swinging more and more and more to the right, with some serious ultra-nationalists on the rise. Until that’s reversed I don’t see any actual deal with the West Bank, given how committed the ultra-nationalists are to the settlers and Bibi’s portentous language above.
