Overview

• President Biden is facing criticism from within his own party due to his unwavering support of Israel in its mission to eliminate Hamas.
• Internal memos from the State Department and USAID, signed by hundreds of employees, accuse Biden of facilitating war crimes and demand an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
• Despite the criticism, Biden's stance is supported by some Democrats, who argue that his experience and diplomacy are invaluable in this crisis.
• Polls indicate Biden's approval ratings have dropped, particularly among young voters and Americans, but a majority of Americans still sympathize with Israel.
• Biden's support of Israel is also drawing praise from some Republicans, a dynamic that further alienates his progressive critics.
