In the early days of Jerusalem, the temple gives a physical presence. Ezekiel predicted the destruction of the temple when he states that god is mobile and you can be a Jew without a temple. The site of Jewish tradition, as a result, moved from the temple to the Wall. Today the Western Wall is considered the most holy site in all of Judaism. Some websites even allow you to send prayers to the Western Wall. The Western Wall basically replaced the temple in modern Judaism.
The two state solution is that the Jews and Palestinians both get their own states. The Peel Plan was an attempt to compromise and it was barely accepted by the Jews, but rejected by the Palestinians. However, the peel plan in retrospect was good for the Palestinians because the Palestinians only have control of the West Bank and the Gaza strip today. Today, the West Bank and Gaza strip is full of conflict and most Palestinians would rather have peace than fight for more land.
