Pro-Trump Arab American group do not tolerate Trump’s remarks, change its name

A leading Arab-American group that had supported Trump has changed its name to "Arab Americans for Peace" following Trump's proposal for ethnic cleansing in Gaza and denounced the comments about so-called taking over Gaza.

Hawzah News Agency- In a statement, the group, formerly known as "Arab Americans for Trump," reaffirmed its commitment to Middle East peace and said: "We do, however, take issue with the president's suggestion of taking over Gaza and removing its Palestinian inhabitants to other parts of the Arab world."

The group criticized Trump for not engaging directly with key Arab leaders, including Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, in discussions about a long-term peace process and stated, "We are adamantly opposed to the notion of transferring Palestinians outside of historic Palestine for ANY reason."

Pointing to Trump's pledge to help rebuild Gaza, the group emphasized that "the purpose should be to make Gaza habitable for Palestinians and no one else"

The group added, "The Palestine that we envision is one that would be on lands occupied by Israel in 1967 - the West Bank, Gaza, and East al-Quds as its capital," expressing support for a two-state solution.
