US President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Massad Boulos, a prominent Lebanese billionaire and father-in-law of his daughter Tiffany Trump, as a senior adviser on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs. The announcement came on Sunday, highlighting Boulos' significant influence in strengthening Arab American support for Trump during the 2024 presidential elections.

Boulos was instrumental in rallying the Arab American community in Michigan, a key battleground state. His efforts included organizing numerous meetings in regions with large Arab American populations who were critical of Democratic President Joe Biden’s stance on Israel's military actions in Gaza and Lebanon.

Trump praised Boulos' contributions to his campaign, particularly in engaging Arab Americans, which played a pivotal role in securing a victory in cities like Dearborn Heights. Trump won Michigan and other swing states, thanks in part to these efforts.

In his remarks, Trump emphasized Boulos' commitment to Republican and Conservative principles and his ability to build strong connections within the Arab American community. Both Trump and Boulos expressed optimism about achieving lasting peace in the Middle East.
