Does Jerusalem belong to Israeli’s because it was commanded by their deity? Or, does Jerusalem belong to Palestine because they inhabited the area before there were any Hebrews in existence?

This is not intended to spark any conflict. I ask that if there are to be any answers that they are properly cited and referenced so that the information can be substantiated appropriately. It’s quicker and easier for me. Thank you.
