Donald Trump’s Arab American supporters have praised their role in brokering the Gaza Seas, but has expressed anxiety on whether a critical war will continue, and the disappointment that his loyalty has not translated more representation or lasting policy change.
Lifetime Democrat Samra Luqman became a Donald Trump supporter in 2024, who helped support him in the Arab American community in Michigan’s Dairyborn, hoping that he could end the Gaza war.
Now, when Trump helped to broker the ceasefire agreement, Lokman proves very excited and slightly accurate after months of reaction from Trump’s support for Israel’s support for Israel.
“It’s close,” I told you so much for a moment, “Luqman, who is a Yemeni American. “No other president could force Baby to approve the ceasefire,” he said, citing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Lokman and other supporters of the Arab American Trump who spoke to Reuters expressed hopes about the recently announced agreement, but said they feared that Israel could violate the ceasefire, as has been done in Gaza and Lebanon in the past.
“We have all taken our breath,” said Mike Hachim, a Lebanese American political adviser and a resident of Dearbourn, who launched a tough campaign for Trump in 2024. “I have to give credit where there is credit … but this is not a peace deal. This is the end of a bloody war and knows those that have been lost by Israeli side and Palestine.”
Gaza is expected but confidence in Israel
In recent months, Israeli airstrikes in Qatar and other Arab countries have led to Israel’s deep confidence in more than 300,000 people in Michigan’s Arab heritage. But the deal is still the biggest step in ending the two -year war, which Palestinian health officials have said has killed more than 67,000 people in Gaza.
According to the Israeli government, in addition to the ceasefire, the agreement calls for the release of 20 of the 250 hostages under Hamas, when it launched a war with October 7, 2023, according to the Israeli government, according to the Israeli government.
It has happened after months of frustration among Arab Americans that they see Netanyahu as a failure of Trump to end the war and end the war. According to more than a dozen US voters supporting Trump in Michigan last year, the new ban on travel to several majority Muslim countries and the crackdown on targeting Palestinian protesters has also made many people anxious and spoke to Reuters in recent weeks.
Many of the interviewers were also disappointed that their community support-thousands of votes that helped Trump push towards Michigan’s victory-did not translate more senior high profile posts for Arab Americans and Muslims into his administration. It is not yet clear whether the ceasefire agreement will face doubts as Trump’s Republicans will face the Competitive Congress and Gibers elections in Michigan next year, as well as the 2028 presidential elections.
Hachim said Trump would be praised as a “champion of peace” after brokering the Gaza Seas fire, but added that Arab US voters could be against it and other Republicans if they fail.
“We are ready to abandon the Republican and go back to the Democrats,” said Hachim. “We have shown Donald Trump that we have the authority to swing in whatever way we are.”
Furious on Gaza fueled the switches for Trump
In 2024, Trump won Michigan by more than 80,000 votes, which in 2020 changed the Democrat Joe Biden’s loss of 154,000 counting. In a survey by the Arab American Institute of October 2024, Trump supported 41 percent of Arab Americans for Kamala Harris, compared to 41 percent nationwide.
In addition to anger over the Gaza war, Trump’s 2024 campaign raised concerns raised by some conservative community members about the defense of Democrats’ transgender rights, Lokman said. He expected that voters would probably remain with the Republican. But Lokman said, but a large group of Arab Americans voted for Trump in Democrats in 2024, and his continued support for the Republican Party depends on Gaza.
He said, “I don’t think they have yet to find their political home with the Republicans.
Imam Bella Alzhari joined Trump on stage in Michigan a few days before the 2024 elections, as well as 22 other clerics, convinced that he had offered the best opportunity for peace, but said that many Yemeni Americans later approved many Muslim countries after Trump.
“Now, many people are very upset. They are afraid of themselves and their family,” he said.
After facing a personal response to this confirmation, Yemeni American Maulvi says he is turning away from politics to focus on religion and his family.
The Trump administration is moving towards relieving frustration
Richard Greenil, a special envoy to Michigan through Trump, has led to the reach of Arab American and Muslim voters, returning to the Detroit area last month for his first personal meetings with community leaders since November. His mission? To remove the growing frustration and prevent the Arab Americans from roaming the Democratic Party, as they did in 2003 after Republican President George W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq.
Alzhari, Lokman and a dozen other people sold Greenwell to Greenwell’s sale in a coffee house in Dearbourne and sales of Israel on US arms sales. In a separate session, they were asked why the administration was not working much to help Christians in Iraq.
During Trump’s first term, former Intelligence Director Greenile told Reuters that the talks were important.
“I keep admitting that the Arab and Muslim community are the key to winning the state in Michigan,” said Greenwell. “I know these leaders well and they deserve and deserve access to political decision makers.”
Although Greenwell faced tough questions from Arab US leaders during four incidents in the Detroit area, he said he would be busy closely, and emphasized Trump’s commitment to peace around the world.
He told Reuters, “You can’t show right before a choice and do not expect to be a reliable voice for any community.”
A 20 -year -old Yemeni American Ali al -Jamaat, who helped Trump a young Arabian Americans with a video viewed about 1 million times on X, to help young Arab Americans a galvan, twice during the 2024 campaign. But it is very soon to predict the next election, which the family runs four restaurants in the Detroit area.
He said, “Trump made a lot of promises.” Well, you came and showed his face, but I still think it’s a mixture. Three years from now, we will see what they are doing. “
