Summary

The largest Arab American community in the U.S. had plenty to say during the 2024 presidential campaign about Middle East politics, but many are now reacting cautiously to Trump’s plan to relocate Palestinians and have the U.S. oversee Gaza’s redevelopment.

While leaders like Rep. Rashida Tlaib condemned the proposal, others are waiting to assess its impact.

Some Arab American supporters are distancing themselves, while others see it as a negotiating tactic.

Meanwhile, Trump’s administration has softened his remarks amid widespread criticism.

      Why would you blame them over people who voted for Trump?

      There just weren’t that many of them. I would guess less than a million, compared to 77 million who voted for catastrophe.

        Was working just fine, actually. We had constitutional protections at home, and Palestinians still at least had a homeland. Now we’ve got neither.
