Biden's Israel Stance Sparks Concern Among Muslim Americans
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Reuters
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. The National Muslim Democratic Council and other Muslim leaders have urged Biden to use his influence with Israel to broker a ceasefire. They have pledged to mobilize voters to withhold support for any candidate who endorses the Israeli offensive against the Palestinian people. Muslim and Arab American communities have expressed frustration that Biden has not condemned Israel's attacks on Gaza, and some leaders have stated they will vote against Biden in 2024 unless he calls for an end to the fighting.
