Democrats are worried President Biden's support for Israel has ruined his image with voters as the 2024 election approaches, as he still faces criticism from the left.
Democrats are worried President Biden's stance toward Israel has ruined his standing with a key portion of the Democratic base, as the president continues to face criticism from progressives over his messaging on the war in Gaza. 'It has undermined one of his most important assets against Trump,' Matt Duss, a former foreign policy adviser to Sen. Bernie Sanders, told Politico.
The same sentiment was echoed later Thursday by National Security Council spokesman John Kirby and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, with Blinken telling reporters that the United States would shift gears 'if we don't see the changes that we need to see,' according to the Jerusalem Post. The 30-minute call came after seven aid workers with the World Central Kitchen were killed by Israeli airstrikes last week, adding to concerns about the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
