Arab Americans Urge Trump for Middle East Ceasefire

In the wake of Donald Trump's election victory, Arab Americans in Dearborn, Michigan, are urging him to advocate for a ceasefire in Lebanon and Palestine, aligning with his campaign promises for Middle East peace. Notably, Trump won Dearborn, the city with the largest Arab American population, marking the first Republican win there since 2000. The call for a ceasefire comes from leaders of the MENA American Chamber of Commerce, who express concerns over Trump's cabinet picks, particularly Mike Huckabee, who has a history of dismissing Palestinian identity. The community leaders are seeking a response to their letter and hope Trump will utilize his influence to push for immediate peace before he officially takes office. Meanwhile, the U.S. is attempting to mediate tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, with a truce proposal submitted to Lebanese officials, reflecting the broader geopolitical complexities at play in the region.
