“If I were an American citizen, I would choose Trump because he is able to stop the Israeli war against Gaza and Lebanon”, Lebanon MP Jamil Sayyed was quoted as saying on Sunday.
Sayyed, a key ally of the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militant group addressed the Lebanese and Arab Americans, on the fundamental impact of their vote in the upcoming presidential election.
He urged them to vote for former President Trump
“If I had the chance to be one of you, I would have chosen without hesitation the presidential candidate Donald Trump because he is the most suitable in my opinion for the following reasons:
“Because I believe that he is bold, clear, honest, and not a fan of wars, and because he is more capable than others of stopping the ongoing Israeli war against Gaza and Lebanon, and because he understands how to preserve the balances and national rights of the various countries of the region and their peoples.”
MP Sayyed is the former head of Lebanon’s Sureté Générale or Lebanese General Security Directorate. He was reportedly illegally detained and released after four years, from 2005 to 2009 due to his alleged involvement in the assassination of former Lebanese prime minister Rafik Hariri.
The U.S. Treasury imposed sanctions on him in October 2021 over alleged Hezbollah-linked large-scale corruption that undermined the rule of law in Lebanon.
