What a Second Trump Administration Means for Palestinians

In the months leading up to the US presidential elections, Palestinians watched as Democrats and Republicans wrestled for the title of “Israel’s best friend.” Now, with Trump poised to return to the White House in January, and Republicans in control of both the House and Senate amid Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza, Palestinians are bracing for the worst. While little is certain about how Trump’s notoriously tumultuous leadership style will play out, it’s clear that his administration will strive to make Washington’s relationship with Israel closer than ever.
In this policy lab, Halah Ahmad and Andrew Kadi join host Tariq Kenney-Shawa to discuss what the incoming Trump Administration will mean for Palestinians, how it will affect the pro-Palestine solidarity movement in the US, and how to prepare for it.
