Ramallah, January 28 (RHC)-- Thousands of protesters took to the streets across the Palestinian territories as U.S. President Donald Trump unveiled what he calls "The Deal of the Century."   The scheme, which his administration has drawn up as a "solution" for the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, has been totally rejected by the Palestinians.

The U.S. president detailed the plan, which is reportedly the brainchild of his son-in-law and advisor Jared Kushner, during a White House event on Tuesday alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Palestinian leaders immedidately voiced their strong opposition to the so-called ‘peace’ plan which Trump first announced last year.  

On Tuesday, as the U.S. president prepared to officially unveil the details of his plan, Israeli troops reinforced their positions near a flashpoint site between the city of Ramallah and the Israeli settlement of Beit El in the Israel-occupied West Bank.  Reuters news agency cited an Israeli military spokesman as saying that the regime had sent reinforcements to the Jordan Valley, a strategic strip of the territory.

In the Gaza Strip, protesters trampled on posters of Trump, vowing to reclaim the holy occupied city of Jerusalem al-Quds and not allow Washington to violate their rights.

The protests came after Palestinian leaders from different factions called for popular resistance against Trump’s deal, which is said to be hugely biased in favor of the regime in Tel Aviv.
