🔴 Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine Deputy Secretary-General Jamil Mezher:
—
The victory of Republican Party leader Donald Trump in the US elections will not constitute any real change in favor of the Palestinian cause, as his policies will be an extension of the approach of successive US administrations, whether Democratic or Republican. These policies will remain supportive of the occupation, and will not remain entirely biased towards the zionist entity.
We are accustomed to the hostile policies pursued by US administrations against our people, and we expect nothing from Trump’s presidency except more escalation and hostility, but we will remain cautious in evaluating the steps of the new administration, and we will judge its behavior and deal according to the practical positions it takes.
Netanyahu will continue his criminal war on Gaza and Lebanon during the transitional period, rejecting Biden’s attempts to stop the aggression, because he does not want to give the Democratic Party or Biden personally any political gain by achieving a cessation of the war, but rather intends to grant that to Trump.
The Democratic Party has lost many of its supporters, especially among the youth, progressive forces, and Arab and Muslim communities, due to its involvement in supporting the war of genocide in Gaza, and its neglect of repeated demands to stop these massacres. The curse of Gaza will continue to haunt the Democratic Party, constantly reminding it of its resounding loss in these elections in light of its role in the war of genocide.
We call on the solidarity forces, popular movements, and defenders of the Palestinian cause in the United States to continue their ongoing pressure and movement to stop the war of genocide in Gaza and Lebanon.
The living and free forces in the American street today have a historic opportunity to pressure the current and new American administration to stop the destructive war, and to strive for a radical change in the official American positions.
Our primary and urgent priority is to end the zionist aggression against our Palestinian and Lebanese peoples, and to stop their increasing suffering by all possible means. In this context, we reiterate our emphasis that the resistance factions are open to any real ideas or initiatives that lead to ending the war and stopping the aggression.
