Palestinian refugees taking shelter in Deir Ballout camp have joined on rally held on Wednesday to protest Israel’s planned annexation of occupied Palestinian land in the Jordan Valley and West Bank.
The demonstrators called on the international community to push for an immediate end of the Israeli occupation of Palestine, lifting the siege on Gaza, and pressurizing Israel to refrain from its projected annexation move.
Israel is set to hold a cabinet vote on July 1 to annex major settlement blocs and the Jordan Valley in the occupied West Bank under US President Donald Trump's so-called "deal of the century" plan between Tel Aviv and the Palestinian Authority.
The land grab is opposed by the Palestinians, who threatened to abolish bilateral agreements with Israel if it went ahead with the annexation, further undermining prospects for a two-state solution.
The UN had earlier warned that the Israeli annexation of Palestinian land would lead to the outbreak of conflict and instability in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
