Thousands of Palestinians gathered in the West Bank to reject President Donald Trump’s initiative in the Middle East and express support for the Palestinian leadership, which is trying to enlist the support of the UN to pass a resolution contrary to the plan, AP reported.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas plans to deliver a speech at the UN, but there will be no vote on the resolution. Palestinian officials denied that the resolution was withdrawn, but diplomats said many members, including European countries, rejected the wording in a common draft.

Trump's plan supports Israel in nearly all of the most controversial issues in the long-standing conflict. It would allow Israel to annex most of the occupied West Bank, including Jewish settlements inhabited by hundreds of thousands of people and which most of the international community consider illegal.

Palestinians categorically rejected this plan.

Protesters filled Al Manar Square in Ramallah. They waved Palestinian flags and held posters condemning the plan.  According to the Palestinian PM Mohammad Shtayyeh, all Palestinians and all factions, national and Islamic, support President Mahmoud Abbas. All the streets are crowded, he said adding that this is a Palestinian answer.
