A number of Democrats have voiced their displeasure with President Joe Biden in the wake of his decision to withhold promised military aid if Israel launches a full-scale ground operation in Rafah.
While none have expressly said that Biden’s actions with regard to Israel would drive them to support another candidate in the 2024 presidential race, they have called on the Biden administration to reconsider the very clear message such actions send both to Israel and the terrorist group Hamas.
“Hard disagree and deeply disappointing,” Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) said via X, sharing a CNN headline that read, “Biden says he will stop sending bombs and artillery shells to Israel if they launch major invasion of Rafah.”
