American international policy expert David Phillips believes that Donald Trump, who won the US presidential election, will support the division of Kosovo as a quick solution to unresolved issues and disputes in the region.

Phillips said for Pristina's "Gazeta Blitz" that the policy of the USA towards the Western Balkans will not fundamentally change, and that it would be the same even if the Democratic candidate Kamala Harris won the American elections.

"Trump has a transactional approach and will certainly support the division of Kosovo for a quick solution to the problem. Harris believes in the rule of law and would be a champion of international cooperation and multilateralism. None of the candidates is deeply involved in the Balkans, so we cannot expect much from a change in the US attitude towards region," Phillips said.

Jewish settler leaders today welcomed the victory of Donald Trump in the US elections as the administration of current US President Joseph Biden introduced sanctions against individuals and groups involved in violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.

"We expect to have an ally who will stand by us unconditionally as we fight the war for the entire West," said Israel Ganz, chairman of the Yesha Council, in a statement to Reuters.

Almost two-thirds of Israelis believe that Trump will be better for Israel than his rival Kamala Harris, according to a survey by the Israel Democratic Institute.

"I think it's good for Israel. He showed it last time when he was president, he moved the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and everything he said he did," said Jerusalem resident Nisim Atiyas.

Some Jewish settler groups, emboldened by Israel's military offensive in Gaza, are considering repopulating the Palestinian enclave.

The Jewish settlers were evacuated from it and the army withdrew in 2005.

During the past year of the war with Palestinian Hamas, several members of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's conservative Likud party have also openly supported the resettlement of Gaza and speculation is growing that the evacuation of its northern part is a plan to remove the Palestinian population.

The FBI confirmed Tuesday that bomb threats at polling places in several states likely originated from Russian email domains. Although the FBI said none of the threats were deemed credible, they caused the temporary closure of several polling places, CNN reports.

This comes after US intelligence agencies last month assessed that Russian operatives were behind a fake video purporting to show the destruction of mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania in late October.

The Russian Embassy in Washington said the US accusations were "slanderous and baseless".

"All insinuations about 'Russian machinations' are malicious slander, invented for use in the internal political struggle of the United States," the embassy said, according to the state news agency RIA Novosti.

The embassy added that it had "received no evidence of contacts with US officials, nor any requests regarding the story being promoted in the media", and accused US authorities and the media of "hysteria" over alleged Russian disinformation related to the election.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has repeatedly denied any interference by Moscow in the elections, calling the accusations absolutely groundless, reports RIA Novosti.
