Palestinians in Gaza hope Trump will end war with Israel, while West Bank fears his pro-Israel stance.
Palestinians in Gaza on Wednesday (November 6, 2024) want Donald Trump, who won the U.S. election, to end the war between Israel and Hamas that has devastated their territory.
The conflict sparked by Hamas's October 7 attack has taken an appalling human toll in the Gaza Strip, displacing most of its residents, causing widespread hunger and death, and leaving hospitals struggling to cope.
"We were displaced, killed... there's nothing left for us, we want peace," Mamdouh al-Jadba, who was displaced to Gaza City from Jabalia, said.
"I hope Trump finds a solution, we need someone strong like Trump to end the war and save us, enough, God, this is enough," the 60-year-old said.
"I was displaced three times, my house was destroyed, my children are homeless in the south... There's nothing left, Gaza is finished."
Umm Ahmed Harb, from the Al-Shaaf area east of Gaza City, was also counting on Mr. Trump to "stand by our side" and end the territory's suffering.
"God willing the war will end, not for our sake but for the sake of our young children who are innocent, they were martyred and are dying of hunger," she said.
