After four trying years under the Trump administration, Palestinians finally have some good news from the new US President Joe Biden. He has ordered a restoration of American aid to the Palestinian Authority .
Under Biden, some of these policies will likely stay unchanged, like the Arab-Israeli normalisation deals, or the moving of the US embassy to Jerusalem. But Palestinians like Kemal Hawwash, the Chair of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign and a founding member of the British Palestinian Policy Council , still welcome Biden’s aid announcement.
“I think it would be good to see reestablishing [ties with the PA], reopening the Palestinian Liberation Organisation mission in Washington and reopening of the American consulate in East Jerusalem,” he says. A Palestinian man tries to replants his olive tree that was cut by Israeli forces near Tubas in the Israeli-occupied West Bank January 27, 2021. “It’s a good shift, it’s the right move to correct Trump’s dangerous reckless moves namely sabotaging the international system and international consensus on main issues such as the status of the occupied Palestinian Territories, Jerusalem, UNRWA’s support to Palestinian refugees, etc..
“It’s too early to judge his intentions. The US administration has been always pro-Israel and I doubt he will be be pro-Justice [pro-Palestinian],” he says. The optimism is not shared simply among Palestinians like Alhelou and Hawwash, but supporters of Israel also feel buoyant about the US approach to the conflict in the Holy Land.
Despite positive messages, Hawwash thinks Palestinians should be careful when navigating a political route with the Americans and not to give any concessions on their rights guaranteed by international law.
