The Palestinian president on Wednesday expressed hope that President-elect Donald Trump will support the Palestinian quest for independence, saying little is known about the incoming American leader’s policies.
In a sprawling speech that lasted well over three hours to his Fatah Party, President Mahmoud Abbas said he hopes that 2017 will be the year that the Palestinians finally gain independence and that he would seek Trump’s help in achieving that goal.
“We know nothing about him,” Abbas said. “His people elected him. We didn’t, and if he wants to talk with us, we are pursuing that.”

Wasn’t their UN rep threatening Trump with the day after the election?
Apparently the Palis know absolutely nothing about the Jewish members of Trumps family and the friendly relationship between him and Netanyahu or they wouldn’t have bothered.

There is no Freedom nor Independence in islam. Complete waste of time and effort.
The Palestinians need to take a break setting arson wildfires in Israel and turn the news on every so often. This ‘leader’ gives a three hour speech about the state of their disunion, and he claims to know nothing about Trump?
Ask Bibi about Donald Trump. He can fill you in.
I’m all for it. Let the Palestinians go back to their ancestral homeland of Saudi Arabia. Plenty of room there, they can build their own Islamic Paradise with the help of their Muslim brothers The Saudis.
They haven’t earned it. They violate every trust given them, and are murderous aholes. If they cannot gain it by force, they are left with appeasing us and Israel and they have not even tried.
ha ha ha! Palestine is already independent, has been for years... its called Jordan and it constitutes 3/4 of mandatory Palestine already.. you don’t get any more land by invading, squatting, infiltrating, occupying, or terrorizing Israel.
go back to your own country and leave the Isarelis alone!
yes, the slice and dice approach has worked for the Moslems previously but they’ve blown it....by proving Over and Over and Over again that they do not want to live peacefully with the Israelis or anyone else on Planet Earth for that matter ... and..... their history teaches them that their constant infiltration, terrorist attacks, and agitation HAS WORKED for them... in conquering already 56 countries....and counting.... and counting.....
so expeting then to quit attacking us infidels is unrealistic, they know it works for them.... they will only stop attacking if they meet with SOLID STRONG force... if all the encounter are open borders, free welfare and housing and food and education and medical care....they’ll keep invading, coming in en masse
we get what we reward, pay for, enable, encourage, facilitate, and subisdize
Trump should award them an independent State in Antarctica then make them all go there and govern it. All our own Mohammedans could then be deported to New Palicetine.
Be interesting to see how they think they’re going to get President-elect Trump’s help since he’s already said he supports Israel.
The Palistainans are from Jordan, not SA...
Rotsa ruck.
> support the Palestinian quest for independence
Just die like all death cults eventually do.
They may have to settle for a Trump statement of support for Independence, Missouri.
They have two chances. Slim, and None. And Slim (Obama) just left town.
I like the Jordanian king. Let’s put the Palestinians where they could be the most use in the Middle East.
They are smoking weird stuff waaaaaay to much!
