US President Donald Trump has tweeted a map that appears to illustrate his vision for how the Middle East should be divided in the future.

Trump announced the "Deal of the Century" during a speech at the White House today.

Trump said the plan he is unveiling represents a big step towards peace in the Middle East.

"Today Israel takes a big step towards peace. Young people across the Middle East are ready for a more hopeful future, and governments throughout the region are realizing that terrorism and Islamic extremism are everyone's common enemy," he said.

"It’s been a very long and arduous process to arrive at this moment. On Sunday I delivered to Prime Minister Netanyahu my vision of peace and prosperity, and a brighter future for Israelis and Palestinians. This vision for peace is fundamentally different from past proposals. In the past, even the most well-intentioned plans were light on factual details and heavy on conceptual frameworks."

The administration’s "vision presents a win-win opportunity for both sides, a realistic two-state solution that resolves the risk of Palestinian statehood to Israel's security," Trump added.
