A large number of Dutch, voiced their rejection against the annexation of West Bank, shouting "Free free Palestine", carrying signs reading such as "Israel shame, blood on your hands", "Palestinian Lives Matter". The protesters gathered in front of the Rijksmuseum, paid attention to the social distancing rules, wearing face masks. The Israeli government is currently debating annexation of the Jordan Valley and the northern Dead Sea, which border Jordan, as well as applying sovereignty to over 100 illegal Jewish settlements in the West Bank. Israel is expected to carry out the annexation on July 1, as agreed between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Benny Gantz, the head of the Blue and White party. The plan comes as part of US President Donald Trump’s so-called “Deal of the Century” that was announced on Jan. 28, which refers to Jerusalem as “Israel’s undivided capital” and recognizes Israeli sovereignty over large parts of the West Bank. The plan calls for the establishment of a Palestinian state in the form of an archipelago connected by bridges and tunnels. Palestinian officials say that under the US plan, Israel will annex 30-40% of the West Bank, including all of East Jerusalem. Reporting by Selman Aksunger Writing Sibel Uygun
