sure, though it won't mean a huge deal on the ground.
honestly, it gives the Palestinians as much responsibility as it gives them legitimacy.
right now, if rockets fly from Gaza into Israel (which they do quite often) Palestinians can claim a whole bunch of things to avoid direct conflict, and can practically get away with it.
once they are a legitimate state and UN member , if rockets fly into Israel , its game over, as its an attack on another UN member state (it really doesn't matter if its government funded or not, if its an attack , its an attack, and a state has to police its borders).
though frankly the UN means nothing on the ground so for the short term its just a piece of paper.

ehm if you look at the history you know that in no way does attacking Israel means Game Over because of the UN status. Countries can attack Israel, terrorists can attack Israel but nobody cares. Like it's been for the past 2000 years. The only one who can make Game Over to Israel's enemies is Israel.
