The Palestinian leadership on Wednesday briefly congratulated Joe Biden on his inauguration, but its main focus was hailing the departure of “bully” Donald Trump.
While Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas congratulated Biden with a terse statement saying he looked forward to “working together for peace and stability,” his top diplomats barely addressed the new president.
Palestinian Authority Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki described Trump as “nothing but bad news for the Palestinians” and said he was looking forward to “not wak[ing] up every morning expecting the worst.”
He added he was glad to see the end of Trump and his “Zionist sympathist advisors who worked in the interest of Israel and used their positions to do what others were unable to do.”
