US President Donald Trump announced his "Deal of the Century" peace plan together with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday in the White House, giving Israel full control of the settlements and Jerusalem as its undivided capital. The plan also established a Palestinian state. 

"For years, the international community said that if Israel annexes any land in Judea and Samaria, there will be sanctions against us in the UN Security Council," Netanyahu explained in a press briefing at the Blair House. "Now, American will prevent those sanctions."

Originally, Netanyahu announced that he would bring the annexation of all Israeli settlements and the Jordan Valley in the West Bank to a cabinet vote on Sunday, but it was announced by senior Likud officials the next day that the vote would be put off. The cabinet vote would only have been on the settlements themselves, and would have included an outline of what each one entails.
