Beirut, Lebanon, and Deir el-Balah, Gaza, Palestine When Donald Trump takes office in January for his second term as president of the United States, civilians in Palestine and Lebanon are preparing for even more destruction.
Many people in the Middle East are watching with fear as millions of Trump supporters celebrate his win.
There are concerns that Israel’s devoted ally in Gaza, the occupied West Bank, and Lebanon would give its prime leader, Benjamin Netanyahu, and the far-right coalition government more confidence to intensify regional wars and obliterate any chance for Palestinian self-determination.
Abu Ali, an 87-year-old Gazan who, like the majority of Gazans, has been evacuated from his house, declared, “I have no trust in America.” “I anticipate that under Trump, the war in Gaza will worsen even more.”
