Following Donald Trump’s recent victory in the U.S. presidential election, Hamas has called for a ceasefire in Gaza and a renewed pursuit of Palestinian independence. Basem Naim, a spokesperson for Hamas’s Political Bureau, expressed hope for a U.S. shift in supporting Palestinian aspirations.
In an interview, Naim urged the U.S. to reconsider its stance on Israel, stating that “blind support” for Israel should end to foster regional stability. Trump, declared the 47th U.S. president after defeating Kamala Harris, previously maintained a close alliance with Israel, complicating Middle Eastern dynamics amid recent escalations between Israel and groups allied with Iran.
