According to a report from Al Jazeera news. Mustafa Barghouti, the Secretary General of the Palestinian National Initiative, has raised concerns about the potential challenges Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may face if U.S. foreign policy shifts under the leadership of former President Donald Trump. Barghouti suggested that if Trump were to press Netanyahu to halt military operations in Gaza, Netanyahu would be forced to comply due to the overwhelming influence of the U.S. president. According to Barghouti, such pressure could present a vital opportunity to reduce the ongoing violence and bloodshed in the region.

Barghouti, in an interview with Al Jazeera, explained that Trump, who has shown interest in reducing U.S. involvement in foreign conflicts, may prioritize ending wars such as those in Ukraine and the Middle East to focus on China. He argued that if Trump were to explicitly instruct Netanyahu to end the military actions in Gaza, Netanyahu, who has long relied on U.S. support, would have little choice but to heed the command. Barghouti saw this potential intervention as a chance to stem the violence and provide a reprieve for Palestinian civilians caught in the crossfire.

However, Barghouti also emphasized that regardless of who holds the U.S. presidency—whether it be Trump or current Vice President Kamala Harris—the central issue for Palestinians remains the need for unity among their people. He stressed that Palestinian solidarity and the collective strength of the population are key to resisting Israeli aggression and advocating for Palestinian rights. “The most important thing is that Palestinians are together, unified, and capable of defending their rights and standing up to Israeli atrocities,” Barghouti declared.

The remarks underscore the broader frustration felt by many Palestinians, who continue to seek a peaceful resolution to the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict while calling for an end to the violence in Gaza. Barghouti’s comments reflect the complex interplay of international diplomacy, regional geopolitics, and internal Palestinian solidarity, as they continue to shape the trajectory of the conflict.
