The recent victory of Donald Trump in the US presidential election has ignited hopes for peace in conflict-ridden regions across the globe. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Palestinians in Gaza have both expressed optimism that Trump’s leadership could bring an end to their respective conflicts.
In Ukraine, President Zelensky has stated his desire to end the war with Russia through diplomatic means by next year. Speaking at a critical time following Trump’s election victory, Zelensky emphasized the importance of diplomacy in achieving peace. He noted that the prospect of Trump returning to power has raised questions about the future of the conflict, as the Republican president-elect has been critical of US military aid to Kyiv. Zelensky believes that the war could end sooner under Trump’s leadership, as the former president has repeatedly promised to cut a quick deal to end the war.
Meanwhile, in Gaza, Palestinians are looking to Trump to end the devastating war with Israel. The conflict, sparked by Hamas’s October 7 attack, has taken a severe toll on the Gaza Strip, displacing most of its residents and causing widespread hunger and death. Many Gazans, who have suffered immensely, are hopeful that Trump will fulfill his promises to bring peace to the region. They believe that Trump’s strong stance and deal-making abilities could force an end to the conflict and allow them to rebuild their lives.
The international community is watching closely as Trump prepares to take office, with many hoping that his return to power will lead to diplomatic resolutions in these and other global conflicts.
