"White House Outreach on Gaza War Leaves Muslim Leaders Speechless"

Muslim and Arab American leaders are growing frustrated with the White House's outreach efforts regarding the war in Gaza, feeling that their private conversations and public anguish have done little to persuade President Biden to change course. Some leaders have turned down opportunities to talk with Biden or his advisers, while others continue to engage in difficult conversations. The White House believes it can still find receptive audiences, but the situation presents a challenge for a president who values personal relationships and has faced criticism over his support for Israel.
