If Israel failed to win the war against the Arab Armies and Palestine was still created for whatever reason (buffer between Syria and Jordan etc), how much of Palestine would be Christian?

How about accepting the Christian populations of Egypt, Iraq and Syria?
Yes, I expect the status of Christians in a mostly secular Palestine would be just fine. Yasser Arafat was a (secular) Christian.
Arafat was Christian... I hear that for the first time lol...
Apparently, I am wrong. He did marry a Christian however.Arafat was Christian... I hear that for the first time lol...

What this bears on is how the Christians of Palestine would be treated by the triumphant Arab Moslems. There have been OTL events suggest that the Christians would be variously abused and would emigrate in substantial numbers. For instance, the abuse of Christians in Egypt. Also, the decline of Christian populations in occupied Palestine, particularly in areas where Israel has ceded control to the Palestinian Authority..
