(VOA) Major Muslim and Arab American organizations and pro-Palestinian activist groups say they were excluded from Vice President Kamala Harris’ office’s outreach to community leaders on the administration’s efforts to contain the widening conflict in the Middle East.
The White House said Wednesday that Phil Gordon, Harris’ national security adviser, met virtually with “Muslim, Arab, and Palestinian American community leaders from across the United States,” to discuss administration efforts to end the war in Gaza.
In a statement, the White House said Gordon “expressed concern for civilians in Lebanon,” and Israeli “actions that undermine peace, security, and stability in the West Bank.”
