Analysis: Biden's support for Israeli Occupation raises doubts on re-election chances

On October 7, the American administration was caught off guard by the Palestinian resistance's response to Israeli Occupation violations in holy sites in the occupied territories.

Operation Aqsa Tryphoon disrupted part of President Biden's plans, as he hoped for a smoother re-election campaign against Trump.

Expert Khaled Kashou, based in the US, noted that upcoming US elections will be as intense as before, with various domestic and international issues at play. Economic concerns are paramount for voters, with Biden's failure to curb inflation rates being a key issue.

Ukraine's ongoing conflict also influences American politics, although it's less prominent than before. Initially, Biden's support for Ukraine garnered bipartisan backing, but public enthusiasm waned due to the war's high cost to the US.

The Gaza war, however, has significantly shifted American opinions. Biden's support for Israeli Occupation, especially recently, has drawn criticism, particularly from young voters disillusioned with endless wars.

Kashou added that prior to the Gaza war, Biden had stable support, counting on Republican disunity and wavering Trump loyalty. However, recent events changed priorities, especially after the Gaza violence began.

Biden's foreign policy decisions, particularly in the Middle East, have raised questions about his second term. His extensive support for Israeli Occupayion has alienated many, with critics accusing him of ignoring domestic issues in favor of foreign conflicts, the expert explained.

Kashou argued that American voters, particularly the younger generation, are increasingly supportive of Palestinian rights. This sentiment, reflected in protests at universities across the US, could impact the election.

The Arab and Muslim American communities also face a dilemma in their voting choices. Will they align with Trump, who supported Israeli Occupation, or reject Biden, who also supported Israeli Occupation but without Trump's brashness?

The election's outcome remains uncertain, with primaries showing dissatisfaction among Democratic voters. Both Biden and potential challengers are racing towards the White House, with the true frontrunner still unclear.
