Israeli forces detain Al Arabiya crew members in Jordan Valley

Israeli forces detained Al Arabiya crew members during a press assignment in the Jordan Valley.

The Israeli forces detained Al Arabiya and Al Hadath’s crew for several hours as they said the journalists were shooting footage in a prohibited place.

The Al Arabiya and Al Hadath crew were covering the latest protests by farmers in the Jordan Valley in the occupied West Bank.

A proposal unveiled by US President Donald Trump on Tuesday gave Israel the greenlight from Washington to annex the strategically crucial Jordan Valley and Jewish settlements in the West Bank.
