Trump Middle East plan: Palestinians reject 'conspiracy'
Palestinians have dismissed US President Donald Trump's new Middle East peace plan as a "conspiracy".
The plan envisages a Palestinian state and the recognition of Israeli sovereignty over West Bank settlements, BBC reports.
Jerusalem will remain Israel's "undivided" capital, but the Palestinian capital will "include areas of East Jerusalem".
Reacting to Tuesday's announcement, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said: "Jerusalem is not for sale".
"All our rights are not for sale and are not for bargain," he added.
Thousands of Palestinians held protests in the Gaza Strip, while the Israeli military deployed reinforcements in the occupied West Bank.
