Palestinians Are Ready for President Joe Biden (with VIDEO) Mohammad Al-Kassim 01/20/2021 Despite Biden decision to keep Jerusalem embassy in the city, Palestinians are somewhat optimistic about the new US administration As the United States turns the page on President Donald Trump’s tumultuous one-term presidency, and welcomes President Joe Biden’s administration, Palestinians are cautiously optimistic that the new US administration will bring with it winds of change.
