yes and protesters have taking to the streets in many different cities including in the jordan valley we've seen dozens have protested there despite the israeli army's attempts to pretend to prevent them from doing so the israeli army has closed off all the roads or most of the roads leading to the jordan valley so that prevented some of the people who wanted to go there to voice their dejection however the event still continued fear and clashes have erupted with the israeli army also in different areas in the west bank including in bethlehem and we've seen some clear clashes in the settlement medical sources have told us that around 41 palestinians have been injured 3 of them have been hospitalized so there is a lot of tension in the ground not necessarily that reflected in forms of protests the palestinian president has talked about this yesterday talked about this rejection saying that no palestinian can accept such a plan. well stephanie decker is a correspondent in gaza city where people say the deal will strip their rights. despite the cold for a general strike it is business as

for joining us trucks initiative it recognizes full control of jerusalem and control over the jordan valley as well as the settlements that dot the palestinian territory in your view are we closer to a peace deal today or is trump breaking international law. i think we are further from a peace deal if by that you mean a peace that is based on the agreement of the 2 sides who are in conflict we may be closer to the most wonderful peace ever between israel and the u.s. but then those are not the countries who have a problem i think what's getting lost in some of the jargon is that israel is not only about to control the jordan valley and the settlements but extend full sovereignty over these areas that's another way of saying an exception this is unilateral annexation of territory conquered by force and i think that there has not really been sufficient attention from the americans certainly not from the israelis because they don't have an interest in shining a spotlight on the fact that israel is breaking international law by advancing internet unilateral an extension which the prime minister

and he included the jordan valley in fact in that reference something which is sure to be controversial given this what does trump hope to get from this deal. well i think that president donald trump was not only addressing israel and the palestinians touring this these statements but of course he was also addressing his space here in the united states christian of and jelly because who support the state of israel and of course also influential members of jewish communities in the u.s. that president trump is hoping to win over from the democrats we have to keep in mind that we will have a presidential election here in the u.s. in november and of course president would like to be we.

to the jordan valley an area that's now has space too posh onyx and we've got 3 correspondents covering the story how the fossett is in general spend 70 deca is in gaza for us we go to our white house correspondent kimberly hockaday in washington d.c. so kimberly what are we to expect and do we know at this point what of what is in this crime. you know we're starting to hear some leaks about what is in this plan and what we're hearing is that this would offer only limited autonomy to the palestinians in the west bank and east jerusalem essentially this is a redrawing of the west bank border we believe in what this would mean is that the israeli border would now encompass some of those jewish settlements inside the west bank now we're also hearing that there would be in this proposal some form of israeli security control that would remain inside the west bank now apparently this is going to be implemented over a 3 year timeline that there would be a series of benchmarks that the palestinians would have to meet in terms of not only new political measures but also are we now seeing a viole

there's really army has put up checkpoints in several areas in the jordan valley we had to walk a lot but we found another. checkpoint their main point is to prevent us from reaching the areas we agreed to meet and. those who did manage to reach the area where involved in scuffles with israeli soldiers. protesters also took to the streets in a number of west bank cities including bethlehem there these radio army used tear gas and rubber coated steel bullets to disperse the crowds. the anger among palestinians has been increasing especially after the u.s. recognized jerusalem as israel's capital in 2017. stinney ans want occupied east jerusalem to be the capital of their future state and not as the trump land proposes in eastern suburbs are sure of that i'm going to belong to trample all over else jerusalem tells its own story every stone has its history and it was never an israeli or an american it is palestinian islamic and arab. the turnout has been some of the people we spoke to say it's the palestinian authority that need to be having those protests but there is also a great sense

there was a small protest in the jordan valley on wednesday an area that makes up nearly one 3rd of the occupy. west bank territory that israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has promised to annex. the israeli army beefed up its presence in the area and close the fruits preventing many activists from getting their i don't know the guy which is the israeli army has put up checkpoints in several areas in the jordan valley we had to walk a lot but we found another checkpoint their main point is to prevent us from reaching the areas we agreed to meet and. listen. to those who did manage to reach the area where involved in scuffles with israeli soldiers. protesters also took to the streets in a number of west bank cities including bethlehem there these radio army used tear gas and rubber coated steel bullets to disperse the crowds. the anger among palestinians has been increasing especially after the u.s. recognized jerusalem as israel's capital in 2017. stinney ans want occupied east jerusalem to be the capital of their future state and not as the trump plan proposes in eastern suburbs

would not say if you knew that the next ation of some of the territories having said that the jordan valley there is a consensus among israelis that this should stay with israel but it could have serious repercussions also with because with relationship to it with jordan ok and the jordan valley is a very large corridor let's remind our viewers about that all over this announcement coming as a surprise can you tell us about the timing. rival president trump is under enormous pressure with the ongoing impeachment trial here in the capital that is going to continue later today and of course what he's been doing here is to influence the media agenda covering the trial extensively right now so he's been very busy talked to anti-abortionists a presidential 1st at a big rally here in washington he traveled to the world economic forum in switzerland and now the middle east peace plan which of course in and of itself is a very important. point on a presidential agenda also it's not forget we're in the middle of the election campaign with the iowa caucuses just one week away and then president trump

too many plans tried to pressure it to withdraw from vital territory like the jordan valley. you, mr. president, you recognized that israel must have sovereignty in the jordan valley, and the other and other strategic areas in jawdia audea samaria. rather than pay easy lip service and shut your eyes and hope for the best, you recognize that israel must have sovereignty in places that enable israel to defend itself by itself. [ applause ] for too long, far too long, the very heart of the land of israel where our patriots prayed, our prophets preached, has been in ruin. today, you are punk turg this big lie. you are recognizing israel's sovereignty over all the jewish communities large and small alike. these, as the distinguished pastors who are here know very well, these are places inscribed in the pages of the bible. these are places carved into the b bedrock of our common civilization. the sacred tomb where the fathers and mothers of the jewish people are buried. where jacob dreamed of a ladder ascending to the heavens. where the ark of the covenant held the ten commandments

calls his vision for peace as you can see it grants vast tracts of disputed land including the jordan valley to israel and these spots there are controversial there are israeli settlements which would remain within palestinian territory the palestinians would receive parcels of land in the south but critically jerusalem would be the undivided capital of israel palestinian president mahmoud abbas has announced the plan. tear gas fired in the west bank as israeli troops respond to palestinians protesting trumps peace plan netanyahu has dubbed it the deal of the century but people here are adamant that they want to accept it. it does not give us any of our rights as palestinian people before we reject the deal of the century we want the right to return we want to just solution. deal of the century has been totally rejected and it's a shame for anyone trying to support it. it's places like this the turkey part of the control for sea jewish settlements in palestinian territory they're viewed by palestinians and the international community as illegal but trump still would allow israel to annex the

the israeli cabinet this coming sunday to enact that and as well as that the next ation of the jordan valley and of permanent israeli security presence there for netanyahu this is something that he very clearly wants to make the centerpiece of his campaign for the latest israeli election which falls on march the 2nd he withdrew his application for immunity from prosecution from the israeli parliament the knesset earlier in the same day allowing for his indictment to go through and be lodged in the israeli courts on 3 separate corruption cases because he wants it seems to focus very much on the deal and its aftermath and as well as these huge sweeping changes in the occupied west bank with vast tracts becoming sovereignty under israeli sovereignty there's also the prospects of an undivided jerusalem and so these are things that are obviously going to be very much propounded by netanyahu although there are some on the israeli right who say they don't go far enough the very mention of a palestinian state is toxic for the israeli far right. harry forsett with the latest there from west jerusalem
