Hamas Calls for 'Immediate' End to War After Trump Election Win​

"The election of Trump as the 47th president of the USA is a private matter for the Americans," Hamas Political Bureau member and spokesperson Basem Naim told Newsweek, "but Palestinians look forward to an immediate cessation of the aggression against our people, especially in Gaza, and look for assistance in achieving their legitimate rights of freedom, independence, and the establishment of their independent self-sovereign state with Jerusalem as its capital."​

Another take on the statement from Hamas.

'Don't repeat Biden's mistake.' Hamas Responds to Donald Trump's Presidential Win. Urges 'Not to blindly support Israel'

Hamas stated that its stance on the new US administration will depend on its policies and actions towards the Palestinian people, their legitimate rights, and their cause.

"The election of Trump as the 47th president of the USA is a private matter for the Americans ... but Palestinians look forward to an immediate cessation of the aggression against our people, especially in Gaza, and look for assistance in achieving their legitimate rights of freedom, independence, and the establishment of their independent self-sovereign state with Jerusalem as its capital.'

The blind support for the Zionist entity 'Israel' and its fascist government, at the expense of the future of our people and the security and stability of the region, must stop immediately...

Our position on the new US administration depends on its positions and practical behaviour towards our Palestinian people, their legitimate rights and their just cause."

IMO,..
Hamas has no right and is in no condition to expect Jerusalem to become their next capital city. Also, they have wasted their chance over the last couple of decades to make Gaza part of a 2 state solution. IMO, until the Palestinians choose to get rid of Hamas, then there will never be a lasting peace between Israel & the Palestinians.

Of course. They're terrified he'll help Netanyahu wipe them off the face of the earth.

and it is bad that peace was called for?

They should be - Terrorist should be afraid of being wiped off the face of the earth. Reminiscent of when Regan came into office and Iran released their hostages that they had for over a year and the weak and feckless Jimmy Carter couldn't get them home. But they were afraid of the new president and released them before he took office.

Peace? Faced with two powerful genocidal dictators who they believe would stop at nothing, even nuclear weapons?
They are much more astute judges of character than 51% of Americans.

Yeah and it was Trump who was the first to officially recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital city in 2017. Hamas must have a really short memory.

does it matter WHY they called for an end to the war though? Is the call for peace bad?

Trump was the president who officially recognised Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. A large part of his support base are evangelical christians, who are generally in favour of supporting israel because they think it neccessary to usher in the apocalypse. I can't for the life of me imagine Trump not siding with Israel.

It's just sheer arrogance as if they have any ground to stand on whatsoever. The hubris is just beyond imagining.

I vote for a Palestine free from Hamas.

I am not sure what is more misinformed in this statement - the knowledge of Trump's base or the knowledge of Christianity and why Israel is important.

 

[Nithavela]

White evangelical voters show steadfast support for Donald Trump's presidency

Trump’s strongest supporters among evangelical leaders can likely expect the kind of White House access they had in the first Trump term.

or the knowledge of Christianity and why Israel is important.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/politics/wp/2018/05/14/half-of-evangelicals-support-israel-because-they-believe-it-is-important-for-fulfilling-end-times-prophecy/

Seems like both parts are equally misinformed: not at all.

IMO, the Hamas terrorists army are savages. The terrorists army has given up it's rights to be the leaders of the Palestinians in my opinion.

I vote for a Palestine free from Hamas.

Amen, sister. I also vote for a Palestine that is completely FREE FROM Hamas. The Hamas leaders and the Hamas terrorists soldiers should be taken completely out of Palestinian territory, in my opinion.
