‘Don’t repeat Biden’s mistake’: Hamas responds to Trump’s victory in US election

While Donald Trump’s victory came as a reason to celebrate for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Hamas is not so psyched.

A leader of the terrorist group told AFP that the US under Trump should “blindly support” Israel as Joe Biden did during his presidency.

“This blind support for the Zionist entity must end because it comes at the expense of the future of our people and the security and stability of the region,” Bassem Naim, a member of Hamas’s political bureau, told AFP.

“Don’t repeat Biden’s mistake,” Hamas said.

Meanwhile, Netanyahu called Trump’s victory the “greatest comeback in history” and welcomed a new beginning in the US-Israel alliance.

“Congratulations on history’s greatest comeback! Your historic return to the White House offers a new beginning for America and a powerful recommitment to the great alliance between Israel and America. This is a huge victory!” the prime minister said.

Trump, on the other hand, in his victory speech said he would “end all wars” adding that there were no conflicts during his previous presidency.

The Republican leader has always maintained and claimed that if he were the president the war between Israel and Hamas would not have begun in the first place.

According to a report by the Times of Israel, Trump had told Netanyahu in one recent conversation that he wants Israel to end the war before he assumes office in the White House.
