MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
At a small White House event Tuesday between President Joe Biden and a group of Muslim American leaders, tensions were high and morale was low.
“This speaks volumes to the dismissive nature of the administration when it comes to strong-willed action towards a permanent cease-fire or, at a bare minimum, a red line on the invasion of Rafah,” Dr. Nahreen H. Ahmed told NBC News.
Another doctor — Dr. Thaer Ahmad, a physician who worked at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis earlier this year — walked out before the 90-minute gathering had concluded, later telling CNN he did so “out of respect for the Palestinian people, who are mourning, who are grieving.”
The event was repurposed from a general celebration marking the end of Ramadan, the holy month in Islam honored through daily fasting, to more of a listening session between the President and prominent Muslim community members.
Biden has faced steep criticism from Muslim and Arab American communities for his steadfast support of Israel during the Gaza invasion, as evidenced by uncommitted votes among Democratic primary voters.
According to a report in HuffPost, a recent cable drafted by officials at the U.S. Agency for International Development warned of “widespread” famine in northern Gaza as humanitarian groups face “considerable challenges in providing life-saving aid and specialized services to those in need.”
