US President Joe Biden has suggested that Israel’s military response in Gaza has been “over the top” and said he is seeking a “sustained pause in the fighting” to help ailing Palestinian civilians.

“I’m of the view, as you know, that the conduct of the response in the Gaza Strip has been over the top,” Biden told reporters at the White House.

He added that he had been pushing for a deal to normalise Saudi Arabia-Israel relations, increased humanitarian aid for Palestinian civilians and a temporary pause in fighting to allow the release of hostages taken by Hamas.

“I’m pushing very hard now to deal with this hostage ceasefire,” Biden said. “There are a lot of innocent people who are starving, a lot of innocent people who are in trouble and dying, and it’s gotta stop.”

We'll see how it shakes out. The democrats have overperformed in every election since 2018. I don't think Biden being old or Netanyahu doing a genocide will change the opinion of suburban voters who want abortion access

suburban voters who want abortion access

I mean yeah those people are probably going to vote, but Biden needs all his voter demographics to vote for him to win. His win depends on maintaining the house of paper that is the democratic voter base, so he can't afford to have two of those papers pulled out from under him. I'm not saying he'll certainly lose, but the current attitude that Biden has this in the bag even with his genocide is very much wrong.
