Progressive lawmakers and advocacy groups are criticizing the Biden administration for deploying additional troops to the Middle East amid Israel’s escalated attacks on Lebanon. Representatives Rashida Tlaib and Cori Bush argue that increasing US military presence worsens the situation and supports Israeli war crimes. They call for an arms embargo to de-escalate tensions. Tlaib emphasizes that more troops and bombs will lead to more suffering. Bush echoes the need for a ceasefire to prevent more death and destruction. The Pentagon’s decision to send more troops reflects US support for Israel’s attacks, despite claims of working on de-escalation. Critics warn that Biden’s failure to stop Israel’s actions enables further violence and risks a wider regional war. Advocates highlight the urgent need to prevent a catastrophic conflict and urge the administration to use its leverage responsibly to avert further escalation.
