Trump Middle East Advisor Meets Jerusalem Center Officials in Washington

(Israel Hayom) Ariel Kahana - Massad Boulos, President Donald Trump's daughter Tiffany's father-in-law who was appointed as senior advisor on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs, met with Dr. Dan Diker, president of the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs, and Center vice president Dr. Aviram Bellaishe in Washington on Wednesday. A Lebanese-born lawyer and businessman, Boulos served as Trump's liaison to Arab and Muslim voters during the presidential campaign. Boulos stressed that he considers Israel's security a critical and central issue. He voiced complete support for Trump's Gaza evacuation and reconstruction plan, asserting his firm belief that Hamas must be removed from the territory. "The atrocities and terrorism of October 7 must be eradicated," he emphasized. On Lebanon, Boulos said the Lebanese government must prove itself by dismantling Hizbullah's military arsenal, insisting that the complete elimination of its military capabilities should be the ultimate goal. He also highlighted the importance of preventing Iran from re-establishing influence in Syria or elsewhere in the region. Diker told Israel Hayom that Boulos's "approach to Israel and the Abraham Accords was very positive. He welcomed our viewpoint as Israelis and made it clear that he strongly supports Israel as a native society in the greater Middle East."
