Gazans look to Trump for help in ending war with Israel
Palestinians in Gaza are looking to Donald Trump, following his recent election victory, to help end the ongoing war with Israel. The conflict, which began after Hamas's attack on October 7, has caused widespread devastation and suffering in the region.
Residents express desperation, with many displaced and facing severe shortages of food and medical care. They hope Trump's leadership will bring a resolution to their plight, contrasting with fears among Palestinians in the West Bank who worry his presidency may favor Israeli interests.
During his previous term, Trump made significant moves supporting Israel, including relocating the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem. His recent statements about wanting peace have sparked cautious optimism among some Gazans, who have endured repeated displacements and loss.
