(Anadolu) US President Joe Biden has “ignored our people” during the ongoing Gaza crisis and “we’re going to ignore him” in next year’s presidential election, the head of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has said.
“We told him directly, in our personal capacities, that if you do not call for an immediate cease-fire, you will not get our votes in 2024,” Nihad Awad, CAIR’s executive director and co-founder, told Anadolu in a video interview.
“There’s no possibility for us to vote for him or give him any support.”
Awad’s remarks came shortly after Biden, responding to a question as he departed for a trip to the state of Illinois, said there is “no possibility” of a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip, where relentless Israeli attacks have now killed nearly 11,000 Palestinians, including more than 7,300 children and women.
