All US parties ‘want Israel’s interest’

Palestinians in Khan Younis say US President Joe Biden’s election withdrawal will not make a difference to those living in the besieged Gaza Strip, Al Jazeera reports.

One man, Abdel Nasser Mahmoud, told Reuters that all political parties in America “want Israel’s interest — nothing more, nothing less”.

“We have seen during the war, America’s support to Israel with weapons. We have seen the massacres conducted by Israel with American weapons. We have seen how America used the right to veto in every decision that is supportive of the Palestinian people,” Mahmoud said.

“All political parties in America are supportive of who? They [are supportive] of the Israeli people. There is no difference between Biden or [Republican presidential candidate Donald] Trump, they all want Israel’s interest.”

Kawthar Adnan Hussein expressed a similar sentiment, saying: “Biden doesn’t mean anything to us, because Biden or Trump, they have aided the war against Palestine. They are the basis of terrorism in all the countries. If he [Biden] came or if he left, it is not important for Palestine.”
