Hamas Calls for ‘Immediate’ End to Conflict Following Trump Election Victory

A senior Hamas official has called for an immediate halt to the ongoing Israel-Gaza conflict following former President Donald Trump’s re-election as the 47th President of the United States. Basem Naim, a spokesperson and prominent member of Hamas’ Political Bureau, expressed in an interview with Newsweek that while Trump’s election is a domestic issue for the U.S., Palestinians are hopeful it could signal an end to what he describes as the aggression inflicted on Gaza. Naim went on to call for support in realising Palestinian rights, independence, and the establishment of an autonomous Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.
