Arab American and Muslim leaders criticize Trump's proposal to take over Gaza and resettle Palestinians, calling it unacceptable and antithetical to lasting peace. Some leaders dismiss the comments as unrealistic rhetoric, while others still support Trump as the best option for peace. Arab American and Muslim support for Trump played a role in his wins in swing states, particularly Michigan. Critics argue that Trump's rhetoric does not advance the cause of peace and accuse him of taking advantage of the misery in Gaza.
