Significance
The violence has raised questions of whether the Palestinians are on the verge of a new uprising against Israeli occupation.
Impacts
Israel's economy will suffer from prolonged violence, but bounce back quickly from a shorter period of unrest.
Violence and radicalisation among young Palestinians will further undermine the authority of Mahmoud Abbas.
Tensions over Jerusalem will create difficulties between Israel and two of its closest regional allies, Egypt and Jordan.
