Arab American Leaders in Michigan Reject Biden Campaign Team Over Middle East Policy

Some Arab American leaders in Michigan declined to meet with President Biden's campaign manager, Julie Chávez Rodriguez, due to Biden's support for Israel in the Gaza conflict. This reflects the challenging political landscape for Biden in a crucial battleground state, where his stance on the conflict has sparked anger and protests. Despite some leaders refusing to meet, others, like Osama Siblani, engaged in a blunt conversation with Chávez Rodriguez, expressing a sense of betrayal and reluctance to support Biden in the upcoming election. The Biden campaign did not comment on the matter.
