Senior Biden administration officials traveled to Michigan to meet with Arab American and Muslim leaders, discussing concerns over the U.S. support for Israel's actions in Gaza.
Michigan House Majority Floor Leader Abraham Aiyash and other elected officials have pledged to vote 'uncommitted' in the state's primary, signaling a protest against Biden's Gaza policy.
Demands for a permanent ceasefire, restrictions on military aid to Israel, and increased humanitarian aid to Gaza were central to the discussions.
