Faye Nemer, the CEO of the MENA American Chamber of Commerce in Dearborn, Michigan, broke her tradition of voting for Democrats and supported Trump in the last election. She, along with other Arab and Muslim voters, felt let down by the Biden-Harris administration’s stance on the Israel-Hamas conflict and hoped Trump could bring peace to the Middle East. Nemer advocates for a two-state solution for Israel-Palestine and believes Trump could achieve lasting peace by recognizing a Palestinian state. However, some of Trump’s statements, like proposing U.S. control over Gaza for resort development, have caused concern among Arab and Muslim Americans. Hamtramck Mayor Amer Ghalib, who endorsed Trump, highlighted the community’s shift towards the GOP due to perceived alienation from the Democratic Party on foreign policy and cultural issues. Despite initial hopes for Trump’s peace efforts, some voters now regret their support due to his controversial statements. Nemer expressed disappointment over a video depicting Trump and Netanyahu in Gaza, calling for its removal and reconciliation with the Arab and Muslim American community. As the midterm elections approach, Nemer warns that such rhetoric could harm Republican outreach efforts to retain Arab and Muslim American support. Despite calls for reconciliation, the White House has defended Trump’s actions, portraying him as a visionary with plans for Palestinian resettlement.
