Mixed Reactions to Biden's Approach to Israel-Gaza Conflict

Progressives, particularly younger ones, are expressing dissatisfaction with President Biden's handling of the Israel-Gaza crisis, which could strain the alliance he has built with the left. Critics argue that Biden's support for Israel, including sending aid and refusing to call for a cease-fire, is unacceptable, especially when domestic issues like the water crisis in Flint, Michigan, remain unresolved. Former staffers, activists, and Democratic aides have voiced their concerns, and there is a growing generational divide within the Democratic Party on the issue of Israel. The dissent could complicate Biden's re-election bid, as some young voters may hesitate to support him if they feel disappointed in his stance on the conflict.

UK Chancellor Rishi Sunak is set to address Parliament to outline the government's response to the Israel-Gaza crisis.
