International Desk: Muslims are on the way to unite against President Joe Biden before the election in the United States due to Israel’s support in the war in Gaza. Muslim leaders in at least six swing states vowed on Saturday to unite Muslim communities to take a stand against Biden. However, Muslims have not yet decided who they will support in the 2024 US presidential election.

Those six states are among the states that have played a role in the 2020 election of Biden as president. A significant portion of the voters in these states are Muslim and Arab-American. They could become an obstacle to Biden’s victory in next year’s election.

Zeilani Hussain, director of the Minnesota-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), was asked at a press conference in Dearborn, Michigan, who could be Biden’s replacement in the election. He said, “We have not two, but many (candidates). But we are not supporting Trump (former US President Donald Trump) either.” Muslims will decide how other candidates will be interviewed.

The campaign titled ‘#AbandonBiden’ (Avoid Biden) started after the Muslims of Minnesota in the United States demanded that President Biden call for a ceasefire by October 31 in the face of the Israeli attack on Gaza that killed hundreds of Palestinians. That campaign spanned Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Florida.

Although the pressure on US and Israeli officials for a permanent end to the war in Gaza is increasing, they are not agreeing to it. U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris also spoke of Israel’s right to self-defense, echoing Biden’s support for the Gaza attack on Saturday.

Muslims in the United States say they do not expect Donald Trump to do anything good for Muslims if he is re-elected president. But they see abstaining from voting for Biden as the only way to change the US government’s foreign policy. Now it remains to be seen whether Muslim voters turn against Biden en masse or if a small number of voters do not vote for him. But if even a small number of Muslims do not vote for Biden, then Biden will be under pressure to win in states where he won by narrow margins in the last election.
