Nihad Awad of CAIR criticized Biden for prioritizing Israeli interests over humanitarian concerns, calling him the worst president and accusing him of allowing genocide to occur under his watch. Oussama Jammal of USCMO expressed disappointment in Biden’s lack of pressure on Israel to end the crisis.
Executive Director Basharat Saleem called for peace and a cease-fire in the region, highlighting the human suffering in Gaza. Khalil Jahshan pointed out the mistakes of the administration in fueling the conflict while calling for a cease-fire.
