Days before inauguration, Donald Trump gets big support from Muslim community, leaders say he deployed bare-knuckle pressure and squeezed Netanyahu to sign a ceasefire in Gaza

Recent reports have eventually revealed regarding the complex reaction of the American Muslims to the Gaza ceasefire deal while highlighting a pretty significant political shift where some community members supported US President- elect Donald Trump over US President Joe Biden in the US Presidential Election 2024 and placed their bets on Donald Trump's potential to resolve the Israel-Hamas conflict, reported CBC.

According to CBC, prominent and key figures like Dawud Walid and Samra'a Luqman who represent different political backgrounds actually expressed vindication that the team of US President- elect Donald Trump seemingly pressured Israel into accepting the ceasefire deal. While on one hand, US President Joe Biden claims that the agreement is a team effort, on the other hand, Donald Trump and his supporters are quick to take credit with Mike Waltz citing the ‘Trump Effect’ and Donald Trump himself declaring achievements before entering the White House.

The deal which was long stalled and was pretty similar to US President Joe Biden's May proposal actually involves a phased ceasefire, hostage exchanges and humanitarian aid, asserted CBC. However, during such times, eminent experts like Eric Alterman caution against the premature celebration while emphasizing on the need for long term political solutions for the Palestinians.


The ongoing narrative actually underscores a pretty nuanced political landscape where community frustration with US President Joe Biden's approach led some to support US president- elect Donald Trump while hoping for a breakthrough in the Gaza conflict, noted CBC. The ceasefire now represents a potential turning point, though its ultimate success still remains pretty uncertain.
