"When I saw that he won the election, for us, it’s a big hope. What is hope? It’s not only for me, what I believe, it’s for everyone here, because till today we didn’t take a decision what will be here. And I think the Biden administration didn’t respect the policy of the Israeli government. It’s impossible to speak about a two-state solution because it will never happen. You cannot draw a line that can divide and separate the population. And instead of that, we have to invest in bringing in a better life for everyone here. We will see much more expanded infrastructure. We will see the Israeli government invest here much more money, because they have to be sure that the United States administration, they say, and they understand and they agree with investing here in this area."

"Donald Trump doesn’t say it in a particular way, he can understand it by the way we pass on things and show him what the Palestinians actually do. That there is really no one to talk to. These are not people you can make peace with."
9. SOUNDBITE (Hebrew ) Shneor Yomtov, resident:
"I believe that Trump will be to our benefit, but you can’t know, Donald can flip on us, he is a bit fickle."

STORYLINE:
As Donald Trump’s victory became apparent in last week’s U.S. elections, Jewish West Bank settlement advocates popped bottles of champagne and danced to the Bee Gees at a winery in the heart of the occupied territory, according to a post on Instagram.
The winery said it was rolling out a special edition red named for the president-elect.
Settlement supporters believe they have plenty of reasons to celebrate.
Not only did the expansion of housing for Jews in the West Bank soar past previous records during Trump’s first term, but his administration took unprecedented steps to support Israel’s territorial claims, including recognizing Jerusalem as its capital and moving the U.S. Embassy there, and recognizing Israel’s annexation of the Golan Heights.
This time around, as Israel is embroiled in a multifront war, settlement advocates believe Trump’s history of fervent support could translate into their supreme goal: Israeli annexation of the West Bank — a move that critics say would smother any remaining hopes for Palestinian statehood.
Some are even gunning to resettle Gaza under a Trump administration.
Israel captured the West Bank, along with east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip in the 1967 Mideast war.
The Palestinians want those territories for their hoped-for future state.
Israel annexed east Jerusalem in a move most of the international community does not recognize and in 2005 it withdrew its settlers and troops from the Gaza Strip, where it has been fighting a war against Hamas.
