Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s congratulations to President Donald Trump on his reelection has raised concerns among Palestinian leaders. Mustafa Barghouti, the secretary-general of the Palestinian National Initiative, has warned that Netanyahu will not be able to manipulate Trump for his own benefit.
In a recent interview, Barghouti highlighted the challenges that lie ahead for Palestinians in the wake of Trump’s victory. He emphasized that regardless of who is in the White House, the Palestinian people will continue their struggle for freedom.
Netanyahu’s close relationship with Trump has been a point of contention in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The Israeli Prime Minister has been known to push for policies that favor Israel at the expense of Palestinian rights. With Trump’s return to the White House, there are fears that Netanyahu will further exploit the US-Israel alliance to bolster his own agenda.
Barghouti’s comments underscore the need for vigilance and unity among Palestinians in the face of potential threats from the Netanyahu administration. As the region braces for a new chapter in US foreign policy, it remains to be seen how the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will evolve under the Trump administration.
