Joe Biden has been urged to use his influence with Israel to broker a ceasefire by 5pm on Tuesday.
WASHINGTON: Some Muslim and Arab American groups are threatening to withhold donations and votes towards President Joe Biden’s 2024 reelection unless he takes immediate steps to secure a Gaza ceasefire.
“Your administration’s unconditional support, encompassing funding and armaments, has played a significant role in perpetuating the violence that is causing civilian casualties and has eroded trust in voters who previously put their faith in you,” the council wrote. The White House has scrambled to address concerns raised by community members and political appointees within the administration. Biden met with a handful of Muslim leaders last Thursday, a White House official said.
Biden has spoken out against rising antisemitism and Islamophobia, but Muslim leaders say the war must end. Arab and Muslim American communities have voiced frustration that Biden has not condemned Israel’s attacks on the Gaza Strip after an Oct. 7 attack by Palestinian Hamas militants from Gaza that Israel says killed 1,400 people and took 240 hostages.
