A woman holds up a sign with the Palestinian flag, a Black Power fist and the slogan “Resist Apartheid” as Jewish and Arab Israelis protest against US President Donald Trump's 'peace plan' for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as they march in Tel Aviv, Israel, 06 June 2020. The Israeli government is reportedly preparing to annex parts of the West Bank that were first occupied by the Israel Defence Force (IDF) in the 1967 Six-Day War. The annexation of up to 30 percent of the occupied Palestinian territory, deemed illegal under extant international law, would fulfill a campaign promise pledged by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during the recent general elections. The move has the full backing of the Trump administration – which expressed its support for what it described as “The Deal of the Century” back in January – but is overwhelmingly rejected by most actors in the restive region, including Palestinian leaders and most Arab Israeli citizens.
