Israel? Palestine? Trump's Mideast peace plan explained | DW News

US President Trump has unveiled his long-awaited peace plan for the Middle East, alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Under the proposal Palestinians would gain statehood but give up large stretches of land. Donald Trump calls his it "vision for peace." It grants vast tracts of disputed land, including the Jordan Valley, to Israel. And controversial Israeli settlements would be retained within Palestinian territory. The Palestinians would receive parcels of land in the south. A tunnel would connect the West Bank with Gaza. But, critically, Jerusalem would be the undivided capital of Israel. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has denounced the plan. Is the two-state dream still alive?

How you have a peace deal which only one side agrees?

Why not just quit playing around and just make Israel the 51st state?

2:04 this is not a viable Palestinian state. This is an isolated Palestinian reservation.

[qadwani]

Create Israel in USA if US loves Israel so much

And when it is said to them, "Do not cause corruption on the earth, " they say, "We are peacemakers only" (the noble Qur'an 2/11)

[aneesjunior]

This is horrible for Palestine and it's

[donttrip]

Why can’t they just treat holy lands like Jerusalem like the vatican? It becomes it’s own place, nobody owns it. All faiths can come visit.

[samuelross]

And furthermore, no one in Germany (or Europe) has any say in this matter!

[TheWitness]

2:04 That looks to me like a big jail inside Israel. It does not look like an independent state.

[suren]

0:28 lol just look at the new Map
All the strategically important territories are under Israeli control
The lake, Jordan valley and river, Jerusalem etc
