NEW: Three displaced Palestinians shared their thoughts to Unicorn Riot on the upcoming Donald Trump presidency.

“Regarding the U.S. elections, for us, the Palestinian people, it doesn’t matter who wins, because U.S. policy is one and the same … It’s all one policy, and the policy of the White House is well-known to side with the Israeli occupation,” said Mahmoud Daoud.

At least 46,565 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza by Israel since Oct. 7, 2023.
