Hebron has always been considered as a flashpoint, give notable Israeli settlers’ assaults on adjacent Palestinian-populated neighborhoods.
Over the past couple of days, Palestinian populations, across the West Bank and Gaza Strip, took, in large numbers, to the streets, to express outrage against what Palestinians consider as an expansionist and occupying planned Israeli annexation of large swathes of the West Bank, mainly in the northern Alghwar area of the Jordan Valley.
The annexation was expected by July1, yet Israel did not embark on it, as Israel has been faced with stark international, Arab and Palestinian rejection.
Israeli media reports attributed the delay of annexation to deliberations within the Israeli political spectrum, as well as United States’ discussions with the Israeli side.
United States’ President, Donald Trump, presented in January of this year, his so-called deal of the century, which involves US’s approval of an Israeli annexation of large parts of the West Bank, in return for a disconnected Palestinian state, away from United Nations’ resolutions, which already recognize the whole West Bank , Gaza Strip and the Arab East Jerusalem, as occupied Palestinian territories.
United Nations, Arab and International players, had long-envisioned a two-state solution, based on which Israeli must withdraw from those territories and Palestinians can have a state of their own, with East Jerusalem as it’s capital.
