"Biden's Gaza Policy Alienates Young Climate Activists"

President Biden's efforts to court young, climate-minded voters are being hindered by their frustration over his refusal to demand an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. The tension over Biden's climate outreach reflects a broader divide between the president and his progressive base, complicating his efforts to rally their support for the upcoming election. While Biden has made attempts to appeal to green activists, including halting new permits for natural gas exports, his staunch support for Israel amid the conflict with Hamas has led to outbursts from youthful environmentalists at public appearances. The president's foreign policy challenge is further complicated by the need to balance support for climate action with the demands of his progressive base on issues such as the Gaza conflict and fossil fuel policies.
