A top Palestinian leader has predicted that US President-elect Donald Trump<\/a> will \u201cdestroy Iran\u201d and thereby eviscerate the remaining capacities of its proxy Hamas after he enters office next month.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe see that Trump and the ruling government in Israel are planning to destroy Iran, so Hamas [followers] will have no other choice than to become Palestinian,\u201d Mohammad Hamdan, secretary general of the Palestinian Authority\u2019s ruling Fatah Party, told the New York Post<\/em> in a new interview.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hamdan claimed that the Palestinian Authority\u2019s efforts in \u201cconfronting Hamas\u2019s ideology\u201d have been stymied by the terrorist group\u2019s ties to the Iranian regime. However, Hamdan told the Post<\/em> that he believes the Trump administration\u2019s presence will lead to Iran and Hamas\u2019s complete collapse.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the year following Hamas\u2019s brutal invasion of southern Israel last Oct. 7, Israel has decimated the terrorist group\u2019s military and governing capabilities in neighboring Gaza. At the same time, Hamas has increased its activity in the West Bank<\/a>, where the Palestinian Authority (PA) exercises limited self-rule, often engaging in direct confrontation with the PA.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some anti-Israel activists have accused the PA and Fatah, the main Palestinian faction in the West Bank and the movement that controls the PA, of \u201ccollaborating\u201d with the Jewish state due to its efforts to combat terrorist activity in the West Bank.<\/span><\/p>\n

The PA, a rival of Hamas, has sought to publicly distance itself from the terrorist group while also engaging in Palestinian reconciliation talks. Meanwhile, PA officials have been regularly rationalizing Hamas\u2019s Oct. 7 massacre and in some cases even denying it took place<\/a> or falsely claiming Israeli forces carried out the onslaught.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fatah in April lambasted Iran for meddling<\/a> in internal Palestinian affairs, accusing the Iranian regime of spreading chaos in its territory.<\/span><\/p>\n

Two months later, the office of PA President Mahmoud Abbas, the leader of Fatah, said that Iran wants to \u201csacrifice the blood of the Palestinians<\/a>\u201d after Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, praised Hamas\u2019s Oct. 7 attack on Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n

US officials in the Biden administration have reportedly expressed support for a \u201crevitalized\u201d PA \u2014 which has long been riddled with allegations of corruption and authoritarianism while governing the Palestinians in the West Bank \u2014 to take over Gaza following the Israel-Hamas war.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nonetheless, Hamdan criticized US influence in the Middle East, arguing that Washington\u2019s decision-making has likely entrenched Islamic extremism in the region.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLook what happened in Syria. First, the US declared the rebels to be al Qaeda, and then [last week] an American delegation visited Syria,\u201d he told the Post<\/em>. \u201cAnd the one before that, when the Americans struck deals with the Taliban in Afghanistan.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe as Palestinians believe that most of these extremist Islamic groups are produced by America by its effort to create a new Middle East,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite polling showing the PA\u2019s unpopularity<\/a> with the general Palestinian population, the Palestinian leader predicted that the end of the war in Gaza could present a \u201chistorically unprecedented opportunity\u201d for the PA to consolidate its power in both the coastal enclave and the West Bank.<\/span><\/p>\n
