In protest at the betrayal of the Trump administration and the Israeli settlement, Palestine has refused to accept the taxes collected by Israel on Palestinian territory. On the other hand, the United States has also significantly reduced the amount of aid provided to the Palestinians. This has created a bankruptcy situation in Palestine.
The Palestinians are seeing a ray of hope when Biden is elected. Resolution 2334 against illegal settlements in Israel was passed during the time of Barack Obama because his administration did not veto the proposal at the time. When the proposal was approved, Susan Rice was Obama’s national defense adviser. Rice is on a short list of possible foreign ministers in the new Biden administration.
Biden himself was Obama’s vice president, and in 2014 he told Netanyahu: “I don’t agree with the nonsense you say.” Ron Kelin, Biden’s chief of staff, also opposes Israeli settlement construction.
Abbas congratulated Biden on his victory and said his victory strengthened the possibility of strengthening friendly relations between the United States and Palestine.
But in the end, the future will tell what the future of the peace process will be.
