After initially expressing optimism about Donald Trump's presidency, Faye Nemar and Albert Abbas of the MENA American Chamber of Commerce have grown concerned about his recent comments and actions regarding Gaza and Palestinian rights. They contrast Trump's earlier commitment to peace with his current plans, which they view as ethnic cleansing. Other activists echo these sentiments, criticizing both Trump and the Democratic Party for their handling of Middle Eastern issues. Despite their concerns, Nemar and Abbas are not ready to abandon Trump yet, hoping for better engagement from his administration.
