Muslim Leaders in U.S. Rally to Withdraw Support for Biden in 2024 Amid Israel-Gaza Conflict
Muslim leaders in the U.S. are expanding their #AbandonBiden campaign nationwide, urging voters not to reelect President Joe Biden in 2024 due to his stance on the Israel-Hamas conflict. The campaign, which started in key swing states, criticizes Biden for not calling for a cease-fire and supporting Israel's counterattacks, which have resulted in significant Palestinian casualties. The coalition plans to endorse an independent candidate, acknowledging the risk of potentially aiding a Republican victory but expressing dissatisfaction with Biden's foreign policy. Despite concerns over Trump's policies, including his Muslim ban, the campaign is willing to risk a Republican win to hold Biden accountable. Biden's administration has called for Israel to adhere to international humanitarian law but has not conditioned U.S. aid on these standards, recently approving emergency military support to Israel without Congressional approval.
