Hebrew TV channel 14 on Friday evening claimed that it had received a Palestinian document on the US president Donald Trump's so-called "deal of the century".
The Hebrew channel said that it had received a detailed report from the secretary of the Palestine Liberation Organization's Executive Committee, Saeb Erekat, in which he presents Trump's peace plan which includes the annexation of 10% of the West Bank to Israel.
The Palestinian document reveals that Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pushed for 5% increase in the area to be annexed.
According to the 92-page report, Trump will announce the plan within two or three months.
The channel added that based on Trump's plan, Palestinians will be allowed to use certain parts of Ashdod and Haifa ports and Ben Gurion airport; however, the Israeli security authority will remain in place.
In addition to this, a safe passage between the Gaza Strip and West Bank will be established under Israeli sovereignty.
It pointed out that Trump's plan includes setting an agreed timetable to complete negotiations but it does not specify a timetable for the Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank which will be carried out gradually based on the Palestinian performance.
Supported by some Arab countries, "the deal of the century" started to see the light following Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and to move his country's embassy in Israel to the holy city.

Ahmad Ismael Jarrar 31
The young man killed by Israeli soldiers in a pre-dawn raid in Jenin has been identified as Ahmad Ismael Jarrar, 31 – the cousin of the man that the Israeli forces were targeting.
The soldiers conducted the raid allegedly to extrajudicially execute a man (Ahmad Nasr Jarrar, 22) accused of the murder of an Israeli. But instead, they ended up killing the man’s cousin, Ahmad Ismael Jarrar. The two men look nothing alike, and are ten years separated in age.
How the Israeli soldiers confused the two is unknown, but it has become clear in the hours following the attack that they extrajudicially executed the wrong man.
Even if they had killed the targeted person, extrajudicial assassinations are considered illegal under international law and the Fourth Geneva Convention.

After detonating and demolishing the home, the soldiers continued to fire live rounds, while sounds of further explosions could be heard, but the soldiers refused to allow ambulances and firefighters from entering the area.
The invasion and the killing of the young man, led to massive protests, before the soldiers fired dozens of live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets and gas bombs, causing several injuries, including at least one, who was shot with live fire.
On Wednesday, evening that soldiers invaded Jenin, and Jenin refugee camp, confiscated surveillance recordings, before abducting two Palestinians, and injured many others.
