In a surprising turn of events, Muslim community leaders have declined an invitation to the White House Ramadan dinner. The invitation comes amidst President Biden’s unwavering support for Israel’s war in Gaza, a stance that has caused distress among many invitees.
One prominent figure, Dr. Thaer Ahmad, a Palestinian American doctor, voiced his concerns about the insensitivity of discussing famine and starvation over a meal with the President while violence escalates in Gaza. He questioned how President Biden could continue to support Israel’s actions despite the humanitarian crisis unfolding in the region.
The ongoing conflict in Gaza poses significant challenges for President Biden, who is facing criticism from within his own party for his unwavering support of Israel. Despite mounting pressure, President Biden has resisted calls to set conditions on weapons sales to Israel, further straining his relationship with the Muslim community.
The decision by Muslim community leaders to decline the White House Ramadan dinner invitation highlights the growing divide between the Biden administration and the Muslim community on issues related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. As the conflict in Gaza continues to escalate, it remains to be seen how President Biden will navigate the challenges posed by his support for Israel in the face of mounting criticism.
