The national chairman for Arab Americans for Trump, Bishara Bahbah, says he believes the Republican nominee could impose an arms embargo on Israel if Netanyahu ignores calls to end his war on Gaza, according to Al Jazeera.

“If he says to Netanyahu: ‘End the war by the time I enter office,’ and Netanyahu fails to do so, there’s nothing stopping Trump from stopping the flow of arms to Israel,” Bahbah told The Times of Israel in Dearborn, Michigan — home to the US’s largest Arab American population.

When asked about Trump’s pledge to end the ongoing Middle East conflict, Bahbah acknowledged that the Republican offered few details on his plan but that he was confident because Trump had “significant influence over Netanyahu”.

Bahbah continued that Trump — a vocal Netanyahu backer who encouraged the Israeli prime minister to “finish the job” in Gaza in June — is very different from “the Trump of 2016 and 2020″.
