PNN – With his support for the crimes of the Zionist regime in Gaza and also the attack on Yemen, the US President has shown a face that the Muslims of America do not consider to be their preferred option in the upcoming elections.
According to Pakistan News Network, “Newsweek” news site reported that American President “Joe Biden” has lost his popularity among American Muslims and Arabs due to his full support for the Zionist regime in the Gaza war as well as the attack on Yemen.
Edward Ahmed Mitchell, vice president of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, told Newsweek that the council is deeply concerned about the illegal US attacks on Yemen.
According to Mitchell, instead of addressing the root of Yemen’s attacks on ships in the Red Sea, Biden has aggravated the situation by bombing Yemen without the consent of the US Congress. However, if the genocide in Gaza ends, the situation in the region will be calmer.
Mitchell continued: “In our opinion, this attack without the approval of Congress is illegal and dangerous and will not end in peace, but will increase the risk of war.”
In the past few days, the United States and the United Kingdom have organized several airstrikes against the positions of the Yemeni army in this country. The attacks claimed by these two NATO member countries were in response to Yemeni attacks on ships in the Red Sea.
Following the escalation of tensions in Gaza, the Yemeni armed forces announced that until the Zionist regime’s aggression against Gaza stops, they will not allow any of the ships that are in any way affiliated with this regime to travel in the Red Sea. The Yemeni army announced that as long as the Zionist regime continues its crimes in Gaza, the ships associated with this regime will be legitimate targets for the Yemeni armed forces.

According to Newsweek, a coalition of American Muslims in states that have a great impact on the results of the elections have gone so far as to launch the campaign (#AbandonBiden) in criticizing the actions of the Biden administration.
One of the regional directors of the Council on American-Islamic Relations told Newsweek: A significant majority of Muslims (in America) have told us in mosques and circles that they cannot vote for Biden in the upcoming elections.
“Hassan Abdulsalam”, a doctor who joined this campaign, told Newsweek: The situation in Yemen showed that this campaign was correct in predicting the disaster of Biden’s presidency in Gaza. The US government should not use force so recklessly. Palestine is the most important foreign policy issue for American Muslims and Muslims around the world. It is no longer possible for American Muslims and Arabs to vote for Biden.
Edward Ahmed Mitchell said: I think the Gaza genocide will have a great impact on the political tendencies and decisions of American Muslims in the upcoming elections and after that.
Polls also show that Biden’s campaign is facing a big problem, as Muslims have expressed dissatisfaction with him.
Omgage Institute, citing the results of a poll in early November, announced that 5.2 percent of American Muslims said they would vote for Biden in 2024. Meanwhile, according to a similar survey, in the 2020 US presidential election, 86% of the country’s Muslims voted for Joe Biden.
Biden ordered the attack on Yemen with the justification that Ansarullah was disrupting commercial shipping in the Red Sea.
Mitchell said: “Many of us are concerned about why our government is acting so quickly to protect commercial shipping, but not so quickly to protect the innocent children who are being killed in Gaza!”
