Hamas calls for change in US policy following Trump's election victory
Hamas has responded to Donald Trump's election victory, stating that its relationship with the new U.S. administration will depend on its stance toward Palestinians. The group demands an end to perceived bias in favor of Israel and calls for recognition of Palestinian rights.
In its statement, Hamas outlined five key points, including the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital. The group criticized past U.S. administrations for supporting Israel and called for an end to military aid to Israel.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu congratulated Trump, emphasizing a renewed alliance between the U.S. and Israel. Trump has previously recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital and has made mixed comments about Israel during his campaign.
