Prime Minister Netanyahu announced that the annexation process could begin on July 1.

The Jordan Valley's Palestine people fear to lose their land and being unable to access their crops if Israel continues with its illegal annexation plans over this West Bank's territory.

Israel Gov't Plans To Annex Palestinian West Bank By July 1st

The Jordan River's shorelands, which were usually used for grazing, today have been usurped by Israel's illegal settlements or fenced in by its army.

Palestinians in the area are forced to work for Israeli settlers, for about three dollars an hour.

"Either we work for them for a miserable wage, or we have to leave. There is no other alternative," a small grocery store' owner Lyad Taamra said.

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has threatened to annex this valley and all West Bank' occupied settlements.

U.S. President Donald Trump proposed the annexation plan to achieve peace among both Middle East's countries, but it overwhelmingly favors Israel.

Trump proposes a West Bank full of Israel territories and leaves aside the old goal of creating a fully autonomous Palestine state.

The annexation process could begin on July 1, Netanyahu has announced.
