A deeply antisemitic, pro-Hezbollah imam is set to give a benediction at Trump’s inauguration next Monday, leaving many Trump supporters puzzled. Is this an oversight or a policy shift in the incoming administration?
There are signs of a shift, with Israel and Hamas close to a ceasefire in Gaza. Back in June 2024, Trump declared: “Let Israel finish the job in Gaza.” Yet now, Israel seems to have resigned itself to Hamas’ continued existence.
The imam, Husham al-Husainy, openly supports Hezbollah and has a history of controversial statements. His appearance at the inauguration raises questions about Trump's policies and alliances.
Al-Husainy's support for Hezbollah and Sharia, along with his controversial statements, make his presence at the inauguration concerning. Time will tell whether this indicates a shift in Trump's policies.
