schema:articleBody	US President Donald Trump's Middle East peace proposal announced on Tuesday gives Washington's consent for Israel to annex the Jordan Valley, a strategically vital area. Here are some key facts about the territory, which constitutes around 30 percent of the West Bank and has played a central role in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The Jordan Valley is a narrow strip of land running along both banks of the Jordan River, which in turn demarcates Jordan on one side and Israel and the Palestinian territories on the other. On the Israeli/Palestinian side, it runs from the Galilee in the north to the Dead Sea in the south -- the lowest point on earth. Much of that is inside the West Bank, a key part of the Palestinian territories occupied by Israel since the 1967 Six Day War. Temperatures in the arid area reach up to 50 degrees in the summer. Around 65,000 Palestinians live in the Jordan Valley, including 20,000 in the city of Jericho, according to the Israeli rights NGO B'Tselem. Around 10,000 Israelis live in settlements in the area. B'Tselem says Israel already bans Palestinians from using around 85 percent of the land and the area is a hotspot for Israeli demolitions of Palestinian homes and structures. While the population is small, the area is strategically vital to both sides of the conflict. Israel says it needs to control the area for security and to protect against any potential incursions from Jordan. Rightwing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has long vowed that Israel must keep control of the Jordan Valley, and had already pledged to annex the territory before Trump's plan was announced. His main election rival Benny Gantz of the centrist Blue and White Party also supports annexation, but his timetable for doing so would be slower. Palestinians say annexation would make it impossible to form a coherent Palestinian state, effectively marking an end to the two-state solution. They see annexation as part of Israeli attempts to cut the West Bank into segments, dividing the Palestinians and weakening their cause. jod/bs/par
