Political Divisions Emerge Over Biden's Handling of Israel

President Biden is facing backlash from a growing faction within his own party, comprised of young voters and people of color, over his unwavering support for Israel in its conflict with the Palestinians. This left-leaning coalition views the Palestinian cause as an extension of the racial and social justice movements that dominated American politics in 2020. Liberal Democrats are demanding that Biden break with decades-long American policy and call for a cease-fire, leading to protests, open letters, staff revolts, and walkouts. While the political power of these Israel skeptics remains untested, their discontent could potentially impact Biden's re-election bid if he fails to address their concerns.
