Following President Trump's announcement to 'take over the Gaza Strip', reactions from Arab American voters reveal significant concern. Initially, some expressed optimism after meeting Trump and perceiving his commitment to peace. However, his recent statements, interpreted as calls for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, have led to disillusionment. Letters and statements from community leaders like Faye Nemar and Dr. Burhan Ghanayem reflect a palpable anxiety and a call for consistency in Trump's vision for peace, emphasizing the importance of a sovereign Palestinian state.
(Your) vision of peace requires a commitment to a sovereign Palestinian state and must not be confused with policies that are tantamount to the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
Our community is in disarray.
He was a very genuine individual, very committed to ensuring peace in the region.
Given his long history of outlandish statements and policies towards Muslims, many are not surprised by Trump's ideas about Gaza.
