President Biden is sending senior aides to Michigan to meet with Arab American and Muslim leaders to address frustrations over the administration's handling of the Israel-Hamas war, as the community plays a crucial role in the 2024 battleground state. The meeting aims to mend ties and discuss leveraging U.S. influence on Israel for a cease-fire and humanitarian relief in Gaza. The administration faces criticism from the Arab American and Muslim population in Michigan, with some activists even calling for voters not to support Biden in November. U.S. officials are working on negotiations for a pause in fighting and the release of hostages, but efforts suffered a setback as Israel's Prime Minister rejected terms set by Hamas.
