Neither President Joe Biden nor Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu support a ceasefire, but Democrats, including Reps. Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, are pushing for the move.
As thousands flood streets in the US and abroad — one estimate puts that total in the millions — calling for a ceasefire in Israel’s bombarding of Gaza, Democrats are struggling to unite around a single stance. Progressives are slowly coalescing around a ceasefire, pushing a congressional resolution in the House, as some voters, critics, and others in the party warn that President Joe Biden’s chances in 2024 will take a hit if he doesn’t shift on his blanket support for Israel.
” Reporting on this issue attributes the hold-off on endorsing a ceasefire to US and Israeli skepticism about Hamas potentially exchanging the non-Israeli hostages taken during the October 7 attack for, variously, a partial ceasefire or the release of thousands of Palestinian prisoners.
