Lebanese-American businessman and Donald Trump surrogate Massad Boulos denies a report claiming that he will serve as the US point man for Lebanon in the incoming administration.
A quote attributed to Boulus claiming to have secured the role was posted on Al Jadeed TV’s website, but Boulos tells The Times of Israel that the Lebanese network wrongly attributed it to him. The story was taken down from Al Jadeed’s site on Thursday.
Boulos joined the Trump inner circle after his son Michael married the former president’s daughter Tiffany in 2022. He helped Trump make significant inroads in the Arab American in yesterday’s election.
In an interview earlier this week with the Lebanese MTV network, Boulos said Trump will fulfill his recent promise to Lebanese Americans to “end the destruction in Lebanon” through a “comprehensive regional peace agreement.”
“People see that Biden and Harris failed to end the wars and failed to even return the American hostages from Gaza… Lebanese Americans are migrating to Republican Party and to Trump because they feel that Trump is their only hope to end this war, and end all the wars… so we can start talking about rebuilding Lebanon and Gaza,” Boulos said.
