PNN – By presenting a report, “Politico” pointed out the concern of the Democrats regarding the increasing criticism of the Americans about the mismanagement of the President of the United States, Joe Biden, in the Gaza war and writes: Biden’s supporters believe that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s widespread defiance of the White House’s positions has destroyed Biden’s image among voters.
According to Pakistan News Network’s report from this American publication, some of Joe Biden’s close advisers and allies are concerned that his approach to all-out support for Israel in the Gaza war, instead of strengthening his image as an experienced world leader, has challenged his slogans about supporting human rights and ethics and has led to so that the American voters compare him to Donald Trump, the former president of this country.
Politico attributes interviews and statements by prominent Democratic senators and their allies, including Tim Kaine and Bernie Sanders, in recent days to an unspoken undercurrent that led to the White House’s decision last week to issue a serious threat to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In this warning message, Biden said that the support of the United States will stop if Israel does not change its course in Gaza.
This warning was a change in the American position, after months of Netanyahu’s personal defiance of the White House’s recommendations in attacking Gaza. A change that showed that Biden’s election team is witnessing domestic political problems and the dissatisfaction of American voters about Biden’s management of the Gaza war. At the same time, the dissatisfaction of American citizens in this matter may even go beyond the base of the Democrats and affect a larger part of the voters.
Matt Doss, a former top foreign policy adviser to Sanders who now works at the Center for International Policy, said of Biden’s handling of the Gaza war: It undermines one of his most important claims against Trump. It was claimed that Biden, unlike Trump, is a decent, empathetic and honest person. But his policies in Gaza have been very oppressive so far.
The conflict between Israel and Hamas is not the first complex crisis in the Middle East to challenge Biden’s political and diplomatic skills. In 2021, the White House faced growing criticism for withdrawing from Afghanistan, while Biden faced criticism about his commitment to becoming a force for global stability. At that time his popularity plummeted and never fully recovered.
