Hamas Urges Donald Trump to Take Action Against War and Aggression in Gaza After Election Win

Hamas has issued a statement following Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, urging him to fulfill his promise to end the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

The group implored Trump to "work seriously to stop the war of genocide and aggression against our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank."

This plea comes after Trump reportedly asked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to conclude the conflict by the time he is inaugurated on January 20, 2025.

Hamas emphasized the need for the new administration to halt military support and political backing for Israel, recognizing the legitimate rights of Palestinians to freedom, independence, and self-determination.

The statement also highlighted the group's expectation that the U.S. would cease its support for what they termed as "Zionist aggression" and called for an end to the violence affecting both Palestinians and the Lebanese people.
