The Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza and US Policy Debates

The chapter explores the urgent need for a permanent ceasefire, release of hostages, and increased humanitarian aid in Gaza, amidst frustrations with President Biden's policy within the Arab American and Muslim American communities. Suggestions are made to change US policy towards Israel, including pressuring Netanyahu and withholding weapons transfers until a ceasefire is achieved. The discussion also analyzes the Biden administration's approach to the conflict in the Middle East, debating the effectiveness of short-term versus long-term ceasefires and addressing broader issues such as the two-state solution.
