Official PA TV, Topic of the Day

Israeli Arab Parliament Member Ayman Odeh: "The overthrow of [Israeli Prime Minister] Benjamin Netanyahu is a critical blow to the deal of the century. From 1948 to this day, has there been an Israeli prime minister who has influenced American decisions like Benjamin Netanyahu? Ben-Gurion, Sharett, Eshkol, Golda Meir... Barak, Sharon, and Olmert? The transfer of the American embassy to Jerusalem - Netanyahu. Considering the Golan [Heights] Israeli territory - Netanyahu. The US leaving the [nuclear] deal with Iran -Netanyahu. And so on... The overthrow of this government with Benjamin Netanyahu is a huge national goal."

“The deal of the century” refers to US President Donald Trump’s as yet unpublished Middle East peace plan.

US recognition of Jerusalem as capital of Israel - On Dec. 6, 2017, US President Donald Trump formally recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
