The US Senate has confirmed two of President Donald Trump’s three Arab American nominees for ambassadorships in the Middle East. Michel Issa, a businessman and Trump’s golfing companion, has been appointed as the ambassador to Lebanon, while Bill Bazzi, former mayor of Dearborn Heights, Michigan, will serve as the ambassador to Tunisia. Both men were born in Lebanon, highlighting their deep ties to the region. A third nominee, Amer Ghalib, mayor of Hamtramck, Michigan, remains unconfirmed due to opposition from pro-Israel groups.
