The White House is preparing to announce that it will develop a national strategy to combat Islamophobia even as it faces skepticism from the Muslim American community for its staunch support of Israel’s military assault on Hamas in Gaza
President Joe Biden's administration is preparing to announce that it will develop a national strategy to combat Islamophobia, according to people briefed on the matter, as it faces skepticism from many in the Muslim American community for its staunch support of Israel's military assault on Hamas in Gaza. The White House announcement had originally been expected to come week when Biden held a meeting with Muslim leaders, but was delayed, three people said.
The person, who was also not authorized to speak publicly, said the Biden administration wants to keep the two issues separate, while some prominent Muslim American groups see them as interrelated. Biden administration officials, during a meeting with a small group of faith leaders last week, indicated that things were 'in the works” for an anti-Islamophobia strategy, said Rami Nashashibi, the founder of the Inner City Muslim Action Network in Chicago and a participant in the meeting.
