WASHINGTON, Jan. 28 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday revealed the long-awaited political aspect of his Middle East peace plan, a proposal that has already been repeatedly refused by the Palestinians.

The plan proposes a "realistic" two-state solution and recognizes Jerusalem as Israel's "undivided capital," said Trump at the White House along with visiting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The Trump administration has postponed several times the publication of its "Deal of the Century" for peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians.

The Palestinian Authority said earlier on Tuesday that the new U.S. plan aims to establish an isolated Palestinian entity in the Gaza Strip.

Also on Tuesday, thousands of Palestinians demonstrated in Gaza against the plan.
