How did Israeli officials react to Trump's reelection?: Netanyahu and other Israeli officials celebrated Trump's win, anticipating continued support for Israel. Conversely, critics fear a further erosion of Palestinian rights and an acceleration of Israeli settlements in occupied territories.
What are the concerns and hopes of Palestinians regarding a second Trump term?: Concerns exist that a second Trump term could lead to further annexation of Palestinian land, effectively ending the two-state solution. Palestinians, already suffering from the ongoing conflict in Gaza, have little hope for improvement under a Trump administration.
What are some of Donald Trump's past actions related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?: Trump's previous presidency saw actions supportive of Israel, including recognizing Jerusalem as its capital and brokering the Abraham Accords. His potential second term could see similar pro-Israel policies, potentially escalating tensions with Palestinians.
What are some potential policies Trump might pursue in a second term regarding Israel and Palestine?: Trump's past actions, like recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital and supporting Israeli settlements, suggest he might continue these policies. He could also attempt to revive the "Deal of the Century", a plan widely criticized for favoring Israel.
What are Trump's stated goals regarding Middle East conflicts, and how might his administration pursue them?: While Trump pledged to end wars in the Middle East, he offered no specifics. His administration might prioritize supporting Israel over mediating peace, potentially exacerbating the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
