Hamas has issued a statement reacting to former President Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 presidential election, urging him to fulfill his promise to end the war in Gaza and making a series of demands. The group called on the incoming administration to stop the war in Gaza and the West Bank, recognize the rights of the Palestinian people, and cease support for Israel. Palestinian National Authority President Mahmoud Abbas congratulated Trump on his victory and expressed a desire to work with him for peace and security in the region. Trump's first term saw close ties with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and proposed measures that were opposed by Hamas and the Palestinian Authority.
