Israeli forces and Palestinians clash across occupied West Bank in protest of so-called 'deal of the century' proposed by Trump
Israeli forces used rubber bullets and tear gas canisters to break up the marches as protesters take to streets against Trump's so-called"deal of the century."
Similar clashes erupted in the Jordan Valley and the entrance of Jericho in the eastern West Bank, where dozens of Palestinians suffered temporary asphyxiation from tear gas canisters fired by Israeli forces. Trump’s plan unilaterally annuls previous UN resolutions on the Israel-Palestine dispute and recognises illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
"We certainly have serious concerns that it will result in an escalation in clashes and in violence," said Christian Saunders, acting head of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East ."The plan that was released this week was extremely unsettling for the Palestine refugees living under occupation, under blockade and under conflict after conflict and crisis after crisis," Saunders told reporters in Geneva.
Trump's administration, along with Israel, accuses UNRWA of perpetuating the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
