Dozens of Palestinians protested on Wednesday in West Bank's town of Bethlehem, rejecting US President Donald Trump's plan to end the Mideast conflict.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed the plan as 'nonsense' , while Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called it a "historic breakthrough".
