A new survey has found that 71% of likely Democratic Party primary voters believe the US should restrict military aid to Israel until it stops attacks on civilians in Gaza, supports Palestinian rights, and commits to a long-term peace process. The US provides at least $3.8 billion in military support to Israel annually.
The survey, conducted by Zeteo and Data for Progress, comes as criticism of US President Joe Biden’s administration’s Gaza policy has grown within his Democratic Party base. Former President Biden had faced widespread criticism from his party for his administration’s handling of the conflict, earning him the nickname “Genocide Joe.”
Meanwhile, a report from the World Health Organization (WHO) describes the humanitarian situation in Gaza as “an awful and grim moment.” The WHO warns that lives depend on an end to Israel’s aid blockade, which has led to widespread shortages of food and medical supplies.
In Yemen, US forces have conducted air raids, killing one woman and wounding another. In the occupied West Bank, Israeli forces have killed a Palestinian teenager during a raid in the town of Salem.
The UN special envoy on the right to food has warned that Israel’s blockade on Gaza is a clear violation of international law. The World Food Programme (WFP) has reported that its food aid stocks in Gaza are completely depleted due to the eight-week total blockade, putting over 1 million children at risk of famine.
