Biden Faces Internal Criticism Over Unwavering Support of Israel
Despite backlash, some Democrats and Republicans laud President's stance on Israel-Hamas conflict
- 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.
