Palestine's hosting of the second leg in World Cup Qualifier v. Afghanistan will be rely on another match. Palestine is replacing Thailand in the Olympic Qualifiers, because Thailand has entered an eligible player in their first leg. This has direct impacts on Afghanistan second leg against Palestine in WCQ.
Palestine should play Bahrain on June 19 and 23. Bahrain is a team which has showed resistance to play in Palestine before. They definitly will ask AFC to let them play Palestine in a neutral venue. Whether this proposal is accepted or rejected by AFC, Afghanistan might also follow that pattern.
If AFC agrees with Bahrain not to play in Palestine, then the second leg between Afghanistan and Palestine should be played in a neutral venue as well. If the decision is otherwise, then Afghanistan will find itself in a difficult situation.
