White House Interns Urge Biden to Call for Israel-Hamas Ceasefire
-
Dozens of White House interns wrote a letter to Biden urging him to call for a permanent ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict.
-
The interns accused Biden of ignoring pleas from the American public to end the violence. Over 15,000 Palestinians have been killed since the recent fighting began.
-
The letter states the violence is resulting in attacks against Muslims and Arabs in the U.S., which goes against Biden's principles on combatting hate.
-
The interns said they will not remain silent on the "genocide of the Palestinian people" that is being funded by American tax dollars.
-
Failing to call for a ceasefire puts Biden at odds with progressives and risks alienating voters ahead of the 2024 election.
