Aside from his pivotal role in the destruction of much of the Muslim/Arab ME arising from being Bush's Poodle and lying us all into war, Palestinians despise him. For good reason. Look up what he did while serving on The Quartet.

He is no friend to Palestinians. But he is up to his old tricks and you can bet he will personally enrich himself again at Palestinians' expense. Hello BP Gas, bye Gaza Gas Fields for Palestinians. Plus he'll get his share of kickbacks and contracts from wealthy Arab states. Just like the last time.

I doubt that the plight of LGBTQ and women in Gaza is high on his list of priorities.
