President-elect Donald J. Trump's emerging team in the Middle East appears poised to push U.S. foreign policy into even tighter accord with Israel's far-right government.
The choice of Senator Marco Rubio as secretary of state and other pro-Israel nominees has delighted Trump's hawkishly pro-Israel backers, drawing concern from liberal Jews and Arab Americans.
Muslim supporters who initially backed Trump are dismayed at the appointments of 'war hawks,' expressing disappointment over the lack of a more moderate choice for secretary of state.
While some Muslim voters still prefer Trump over the previous administration, they are vocal in their opposition to the appointments of hawkish figures.
