Muslim leaders who supported Donald Trump in the election are protesting against his cabinet picks, accusing him of prioritizing Israel over his local voter base. They are particularly disappointed with his choice of Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, who has expressed strong support for Israel and called for the destruction of Hamas. Trump has also nominated Mike Huckabee as the next ambassador to Israel, who is a staunch pro-Israel conservative. Additionally, Elise Stefanik, who has criticized the UN for its condemnation of deaths in Gaza, has been chosen as the US ambassador to the United Nations. Muslim voters had hoped for cabinet officials who would work towards peace, but there is no sign of that so far.
