Arab Americans for Trump, a group instrumental in supporting Donald Trump's voter outreach to Arab Americans, has rebranded as Arab Americans for Peace following Trump's controversial comments about the Gaza Strip. The group's chairman, Bishara Bahbah, expressed opposition to the president's idea of transferring Palestinians and emphasized their longstanding goal of promoting peace. The organization played a vital role in connecting Trump with Arab American leaders, contributing to his successes in swing states like Michigan, where he made history by winning Dearborn, a city with the nation's largest Arab American population.
"The talk about what the president wants to do with Gaza, obviously we're completely opposed to the idea of the transfer of Palestinians from anywhere in Historic Palestine."
"We did not want to be behind the curve in terms of pushing for peace, because that has been our objective from the very beginning."
