What does Donald Trump’s visit to Israel and the West Bank herald for the region?

US President Donald Trump touched down at Israel’s Ben Gurion international airport midday Monday, ahead of a two-day visit to Israel and the occupied West Bank, amid fierce opposition among Palestinians to the far-right leader who has been accused of "complete bias" toward Israel and its decades-long occupation of the Palestinian territory, and is well known for his anti-Muslim rhetoric.

The Hamas resistance movement said they condemned Trump for the “lies” told, referring remarks made in a speech delivered before leaders of Arab and Muslim-majority countries in the Saudi capital of Riyadh, when Trump included Hamas in a list of terrorist groups that he said posed a global threat of "epic proportions."

The designation "denies the Palestinian people's legitimate right to resistance to liberate their land and holy places," Hamas, which identifies as a national resistance movement, said.
