Palestine urges int'l community to act against U.S. peace plan immediately

Palestine on Monday urged the international community to move against the U.S. Mideast peace plan, known as the "Deal of the Century," without delay.

The Palestinian Foreign Ministry said in a press statement that the international community has not much time left to salvage the two-state solution, after U.S. President Donald Trump announced the U.S. Mideast peace plan on Jan. 28.

"Neutral or reluctant positions towards this dangerous U.S.-Israeli plan are not feasible in preventing the U.S. coup against international law and international legitimacy resolutions, nor in saving the peace process between Palestinians and Israelis," said the statement.

"The actual implementation of the deal is taking place on a daily basis," it added, warning of the "Israeli measures that are imposing new realities on the ground to serve the plan."

Palestinian sources confirmed that Israeli forces on Monday bulldozed the agricultural lands in several villages near Nablus city, north of the West Bank.

Israeli settlement activity is considered one of the major issues that caused the collapse of the peace talks between Palestinians and Israelis in 2014.

According to the latest Palestinian data, around 400,000 Israelis live in 135 settlements and 100 illegal outposts in the West Bank.
