Biden Faces Pressure to Restrict Arms to Israel

Amid increasing backlash over his pro-Israel stance during the Gaza conflict, President Biden faces criticism from various organizations and individuals for continuing arms sales to Israel. Following Kamala Harris's election loss to Donald Trump, calls for accountability have intensified, with the Council on American-Islamic Relations labeling Biden a 'war criminal' for his administration's military support amid humanitarian crises. A leaked letter from Biden officials demanded Israel allow more humanitarian aid into Gaza, which has reportedly gone unheeded. In response, a coalition of organizations is urging Biden to enforce U.S. laws restricting arms sales to Israel. Meanwhile, Trump has pledged to reverse Biden's arms embargo on Israel on his first day in office if elected. The ongoing conflict has raised concerns over civilian casualties and the effectiveness of U.S. foreign policy in the region.
