GAZA\/JERUSALEM
\nPales\u00adtinians in Gaza on Wednesday want Donald Trump, who won the US election, to end the conflict between Israel and Hamas that has devastated their territory.
\n\u201cWe were displaced, killed \u2026 there\u2019s nothing left for us, we want peace,\u201d Mamdouh al-Jadba, who was displaced to Gaza City from Jabalia, said.
\n\u201cI hope Trump finds a solution, we need someone strong like Trump to end the war and save us, enough, God, this is enough,\u201d said the 60-year-old.
\n\u201cI was displaced three times, my house was destroyed, my children are homeless in the south \u2026 There\u2019s nothing left, Gaza is finished.\u201d Umm Ahmed Harb, from the Al-Shaaf area east of Gaza City, was also counting on Trump to \u201cstand by our side\u201d and end the territory\u2019s suffering.
\n\u201cGod 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,\u201d she said.
\n\u201cWe cannot buy anything with the high prices (of food). We are here in fear, terror and death.\u201d
\nFor Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, where violence has also surged since October last year, Trump\u2019s victory was reason to fear for the future.
\n\u201cTrump is firm in some decisions, but these decisions could serve Israel\u2019s interests politically more than they serve the Palestinian cause,\u201d said Samir Abu Jundi, a 60-year-old in the city of Ramallah.
\nAnother man who identified himself only by his nickname, Abu Moha\u00admmed, said he also saw no reason to believe Trump\u2019s victory would be in favour of the Palestinians, saying \u201cnothing will change except more decline\u201d.
\nTrump has promised to bring an end to raging international crises, even saying he could \u201cstop wars with a telephone call\u201d.
\nImad Fakhida, a school principal in the main West Bank city of Ramallah, said \u201cTrump\u2019s return to power\u2026 will lead us to hell and there will be a greater and more difficult escalation.\u201d \u201cHe is known for his complete and greatest support for Israel,\u201d he added.
\nIn Gaza, such statements gave reason for hope. \u201cWe expect peace to come and the war to end with Trump because in his election campaign he said that he wants peace and calls for stopping the wars on Gaza and the Middle East,\u201d said Ibrahim Alian, 33, from Gaza City.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
