El Salvador's president, Trump's new deportation partner, is a pro-Israel Palestinian

El Salvador's president, Nayib Bukele, who has become a partner in Trump's deportation scheme, is a pro-Israel Palestinian with a complex stance on Israel and Jewish issues. Bukele, who has embraced authoritarianism since his 2019 election, is descended from Palestinian Christians on his father's side and has expressed support for Israel. The country's Jewish community is small, with around 200 members, while the Palestinian diaspora community is estimated to be around 100,000. Bukele's prisons, known for allegations of torture, have absorbed many migrants without due process, leading to comparisons to concentration camps.
