Hamas seems to be calling for a ceasefire.
Newsweek:

Asenior Hamas official has called for an immediate end to Israel's war against the group in the Gaza Strip and a plan to achieve Palestinian statehood in remarks shared with Newsweek in the wake of former President Donald Trump's election victory.

"The election of Trump as the 47th president of the USA is a private matter for the Americans," Hamas Political Bureau member and spokesperson Basem Naim told Newsweek, "but Palestinians look forward to an immediate cessation of the aggression against our people, especially in Gaza, and look for assistance in achieving their legitimate rights of freedom, independence, and the establishment of their independent self-sovereign state with Jerusalem as its capital."

"The blind support for the Zionist entity 'Israel' and its fascist government, at the expense of the future of our people and the security and stability of the region, must stop immediately," he added.

When previously in office, Trump forged a close relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is today engaged in a multifront war against the Iran-aligned Axis of Resistance that began with a large-scale Hamas-led attack against Israel in October 2023. However, Trump has also expressed criticism of Netanyahu's wartime leadership and has called for a timely end to the conflict.

Trump is going to encourage Israel to bomb the fuck out of terrorists, normalize Israeli relations with reasonably-governed Arab states, bring the remaining hostages home, and unite the region against Iran. Wouldn’t be surprised if the Iranian regime is toppled during his term.

Trump isn't even in office yet and he's restoring peace. The war in Ukraine will be ended during his term. Trump isn't a limp dick like Biden.

I think the war would end during anyone's term but I think he's likely to end it sooner than others would unless congress starts overriding vets or something.

Ukraine can't function without American support so he can likely say this is done.

The new administration understands the middle east. Biden did not. They will cutoff the banker of terrorism quickly and give Israel the time it needs to protect itself and reassure the world that a security treaty with the US is worth something. The age of weakness is closing quickly.

Rebel forces have taken Aleppo and threatening Hama in Syria. The Civil War has restarted.

Georgia has had constant protests concerning their government for a week now.

South Korea has declared martial law with its president trying to become a dictator.

Feel free to discuss and how a stronger president may have prevented the entire world from going completely bonkers since 2020.

If Trump is taking credit for the good things that have happened around the world since the election with the logic of it's only happening because of his return to office then logic should dictate he's held responsible for the bad things as well.

...can't think of any bad things that happened last time, short of a global pandemic that hit everyone.

Didn't help they decided to print all that money, lots of spending in the early part of his regime while the country was still recovering from the pandemic.
"How will you pay for this infrastructure bill?" "Don't worry about it."
"Inflation is a good thing, it's transitory."

I'm sure it's just coincidence. Russia and Hamas as well.

He lied about that, just like everything else. His favorability rating out the door is just perfect.
Printing trillions on partisan handouts surely did nothing bad for the inflation rate. The stupid energy policy that spiked gas prices was actually good! These people are a joke.

Go google inflation rates by country 2021. You might rethink your position on this one.

Inflation hit, but it didn't hit everyone the same. A lot of the US wounds were self inflicted.

What's going on in Syria is the most confusing mess of any country I have ever seen. So many different players involved
