As the 2024 United States presidential race intensifies, a recurrent theme emerges: the unwavering support for Israel expressed by several candidates associated with former President Donald Trump. This trend signals endorsement of far-right Israeli goals, which have raised concerns among various groups, particularly those disturbed by ongoing conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon.

During a campaign appearance in Dearborn, Michigan — often called the "capital" of Arab America — Trump was seen as reaching out to Arab American and Muslim voters. Acknowledging their distress over U.S. support for Israeli military actions, he stated, "During my Administration, we had peace in the Middle East… I will fix the problems caused by the current leadership and stop the suffering and destruction in Lebanon." Nevertheless, his upcoming term could see a continuation of strong pro-Israel policies, as indicated by his nominees for high-level positions.

Recent reports indicate that as many as 43,799 civilians have died in Gaza since the outbreak of hostilities beginning in October 2023, which has regrettably led to international scrutiny of Israeli military tactics, with allegations of genocide emerging from various human rights organizations.
