A Palestinian Authority official predicts Trump's presidency will 'destroy Iran', leaving Hamas weakened and forced to abandon its ties to external regimes.
A Palestinian Authority (PA) official reportedly predicted that President-elect Donald Trump will 'destroy Iran ' and that Tehran's weakening will effectively break down the remaining Hamas terror cells. Mohammad Hamdan, secretary-general of the PA’s ruling Fatah Party , reportedly made the comments to the New York Post on Dec.
19 during a meeting between the outlet and other top PA leaders in Nablus, about an hour south of the West Bank city of Jenin, where Western-backed PA forces have launched security operations against armed extremists aligned with Hamas this month. The Post first reported the conversation on Monday. 'We are confronting Hamas’ ideology. Our problem is with Hamas’ link to regimes outside Palestine,' Hamdan told the Post, referencing Iran specifically. A group of more than a dozen extremists stole two PA vehicles and paraded them down the streets of Jenin while waving Hamas and ISIS flags on Dec. 6, according to the Post. Since then, PA forces have killed at least three extremists in the West Bank town and have vowed to arrest or 'eliminate' the remaining people responsible. Fatah suffered a major defeat in the 2006 election, resulting in rival Hamas seizing control of the Gaza Strip, hardening Islamic-extremist rule and launching repeated attacks on Israel. The tipping point came when Hamas terrorists launched their coordinated attack on southern Israel from Gaza on Oct. 7, 2023, killing more than 1,200 people and taking more than 250 hostages. As Israel has decimated Hamas in the Gaza Strip since then, the PA, which is backed by the U.S. and other Western governments, appears to be positioning itself to resume governance of Gaza once the war end
