President-elect Donald Trump announced Sunday that he had named Christian Lebanese businessman Massad Boulos, the father-in-law of Trump’s daughter, Tiffany, as his senior adviser on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs.
Boulos has also reached out to Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas, even as the Trump transition team has deepened its ties with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Boulos joins a team of advisers that is staunchly pro-Israel — a curious combination, but a reflection of the fact that Trump won a historically large percentage of Jewish votes while also picking up Arab and Muslim votes in Michigan.
Boulos comes with some personal connections that may draw scrutiny, including roots in arcane Lebanese politics, and family business interests in Nigeria, which is a difficult country to do business in while remaining above board.
