Biden Urged to Take Stronger Stance on Israel-Gaza Conflict: Live Updates

In the midst of escalating tensions in the Middle East, mainstream Democrats are urging President Biden to take a stronger stance on the conflict between Israel and Gaza. As the death toll continues to rise, Democrats are calling on Biden to become a vocal advocate for a Ramadan cease-fire, increased humanitarian aid, and a long-term solution that includes a Palestinian state.

Prominent Jewish Democrats, including Representative Jamie Raskin and Senator Cory Booker, are leading the charge for Biden to use his leverage to end the violence and provide much-needed aid to the region. They are urging the president to not only support Israel’s security but also advocate for the rights of Palestinians and push for a comprehensive two-state solution.

The pressure on Biden comes as Democrats grapple with internal divisions over their approach to the conflict. While some, like Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, are facing criticism for their stance on Israel, others are calling for a more forceful response from the administration.

As the State of the Union address approaches, all eyes will be on Biden to see how he addresses the crisis in the Middle East. With tensions running high and calls for action growing louder, the president’s response could have far-reaching implications for U.S. policy in the region.
