Chicago Palestinian leaders refuse to meet with White House officials
CHICAGO -- A group of Palestinian leaders and businesspeople has refused to meet with senior White House officials in Chicago, over concerns about the Israel-Hamas War.This is not the first time activists have refused such a meeting. A similar protest took place in Southeast Michigan – which, like the Chicago area, has a significant Arab-American population.
'''Right now, there is no time for meeting with Biden and his people,' said Hatem Abudayyeh of the U.S. Palestinian Community Network. 'Those days are gone when there could have been a space for that.'In a letter sent to the White House, the group pointed to America's continued funding of Israel, and refusal to call for a ceasefire, as their cause for protest. They said the U.S.' recent airdrop of aid in Gaza is not enough.
