Under those principles, significant parts of Israel have the right to secede. Will the international community support the secession of East Jerusalem? So far as I can discern, the governing principles are more complex than just identifying a territory which will give majority support to a separation vote.

Certainly, I'm not saying it's simple. I'm just saying that it should not be called illegitimate, because even if it's not feasible technically speaking, it would still be legitimate based on UN principles.
