Hezbollah and Hamas Downplay US Election Impact

Hezbollah and Hamas have expressed that the U.S. presidential election results hold little significance for their operations or their respective conflicts with Israel. Sheikh Naim Kassem, Hezbollah's leader, emphasized that their military strategies remain unaffected by the outcome, and ceasefire talks are contingent upon an end to Israeli aggression. Similar sentiments were echoed by senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan, who downplayed the election's impact on Palestinians and urged the new U.S. administration to heed calls for ending the conflict. Meanwhile, in Bangladesh, analysts argue that the election results won't alter U.S.-Bangladesh relations significantly, as these are shaped by broader geopolitical factors. The ongoing conflict in Gaza continues to overshadow American political developments, with locals more concerned about immediate survival needs amid ongoing Israeli military operations. The situation remains tense, with reports of intensified rocket exchanges between Hezbollah and Israel, leading to casualties on both sides.
