“As Arab Americans hold back their support from President Joe Biden until he changes course on the Israel-Gaza war, Donald Trump’s ‘shadow secretary of state’ — Ric Grenell — met with Arab American leaders Tuesday night to try to convince them that the former president is a viable option for their community come November,” NOTUS reports.
“It didn’t go well.”
“The meeting… featured about 40 Arab American leaders, Grenell, Trump’s son-in-law Michael Boulos, and Boulos’ father, Massad Boulos…. Grenell came off as unsympathetic to the plight of Palestinians while actually angering some participants by reiterating a comment from Trump’s other son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who said in March that Israel should remove Palestinians from the valuable ‘waterfront property’ in Gaza.”
Said one attendee: “He repeated Jared Kushner’s statement about beachfront property, which I think floated like a lead balloon in the room.”
