(Hill) Arab American and Muslim leaders are blasting President Trump’s proposal to take over Gaza, warning that it’s antithetical to their beliefs and amounts to ethnic cleansing.
The backlash comes after Trump made significant inroads among these groups’ voters in the November election, peeling them away from the Democratic Party, which has been their home for decades, in the wake of the Israel-Hamas war.
But while these leaders have no kind words for Trump’s plans, they’re also pointing blame at both former President Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris for allowing the war to continue and not taking the opportunity to convince voters that they were a better alternative.
