The Deal of the Century was announced by Donald Trump and Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on January 27.

Abbas declined the invitation out of respect for the Palestinian people so that they would not think that their president was legitimizing the Deal.
In the face of the annexation threat, leaders from around the world have united their voices to stop Israel from taking over a large part of West Bank territory, including the Jordan Valley.
"U.S., Israel's plan violates peace and security in this land," Shorashim-Judah Movement (Roots, in Hebrew and Arabic) leaders Khaled Abu Awad and Shaul Judelman said.
