š¤Who is Massad Boulos, tapped as Trumpās advisor on Arab, Middle Eastern affairs?
US President-elect Donald Trump has announced Massad Boulos as his pick for the position of senior advisor on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs.
Who is Massad Boulos?
šBoulos is a Lebanese American businessman who is also father-in-law to Trumpās daughter, Tiffany.
šBoulos helped Trump win back the swing state of Michigan by flipping Arab American voters frustrated with Joe Bidenās policies supporting Israel in its war on Hamas in Gaza and on Hezbollah in Lebanon, campaign officials told Reuters.
šHe assured Arab Americans during the election campaign that Trump was committed to ending the wars in the Middle East.
šTrumpās in-law has ties to various factions in Lebanese politics, including the Free Patriotic Movement (Christian party aligned with Hezbollah), and the Lebanese Forces Party, according to media reports.
šHe is familiar with Suleiman Frangieh, leader of the Christian Marada Movement and a candidate for Hezbollah's faction in the 2022-2024 Lebanese presidential election, Reuters noted.
šBoulos, who has acted as a go-between for Trump and Mahmoud Abbas in the past, met with the Palestinian leader on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in September, a senior Palestinian official told The Times of Israel. Abbas reportedly voiced willingness to work with Trump to reach a two-state solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
šBoulos also has friends who are close to Syriaās President Bashar Al-Assad, according to media reports.
