Recent developments suggest that President Joe Biden and other top Democrats are reevaluating their stances on Israel's conflict in Gaza. This shift comes after the Michigan Democratic primary in February, where over 100,000 votes were cast for the “uncommitted” option, indicating a level of uncertainty among Democratic voters.
The potential impact of this uncertainty is significant, particularly in swing states like Wisconsin. If voters remain uncommitted in November, Biden's chances in the election could be at risk.
Notable actions include the US supporting a Gaza ceasefire resolution at the United Nations Security Council and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer calling for a new election in Israel while criticizing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
During a Biden event in North Carolina, pro-Palestinian protesters interrupted, prompting Biden to acknowledge their perspective, stating, “they have a point.” This incident, along with the decision to shift an iftar dinner at the White House to a meeting, reflects growing frustration within the Muslim community.
Conversely, the Biden administration is nearing approval of a deal to sell up to 50 American-made F-15 fighter jets to Israel, indicating continued support for the country.
