Hamas says it will judge Trump on his stances on Palestinians, after Biden administration’s ‘cover’ for Israel

Hamas comments on Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election and says it will judge the Trump presidency on its “positions and actions towards the Palestinian people.”
In a statement, the Palestinian terror group says that the incoming president must “listen to the voices raised by Americans for over a year against the Zionist aggression on the Gaza Strip” and the US’s “bias in favor of the Zionist entity.”
Hamas says that since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, the US has consistently supported Israel over the Palestinians, and slams the outgoing Joe Biden administration for granting “political and military cover to Israel in its genocidal war.”
