PermalinkLebanese civilians are bracing for more devastation once Donald Trump
begins his second term as president of the United States in January.
While millions of Trump supporters celebrate his victory, many in the
Middle East are looking on with trepidation.
In Gaza, the occupied West Bank and Lebanon, there are fears the loyal
ally of Israel will embolden its prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu,
and far-right coalition government to escalate regional conflicts and
destroy any possibility of Palestinian self-determination.
I have no trust in America, said Abu Ali, an 87-year-old in Gaza who
has been uprooted from his home like most people there. Im expecting
the war in Gaza to get even worse [under Trump].
US President Joe Bidens outgoing administration has supported Israel
in its campaign in Gaza.
Since the Hamas-led attacks on southern Israel on October 7, 2023,
during which 1,139 people were killed and 250 taken captive, Israels
genocide against Palestinians in Gaza using US weapons has killed
more than 43,000 Palestinians and uprooted almost the entire
population of 2.3 million people.
