US President Joe Biden's response to the war between Israel and Hamas threatens his political standing. Less than a quarter of young voters approve of Biden's approach to the conflict.
The New York Times reports this.
It is indicated that it was the votes of young people that were decisive for the victory of the Democrats in 2020. The poll shows that voters aged 18 to 29 view the war primarily through the lens of human rights. They want the US to help both the Israeli and Palestinian peoples. Young people remain unsure of their government's commitment to protecting the innocent.

“Certainly, the majority of young voters who seek a ceasefire do not condone Hamas’s barbaric actions.” But according to a recent CBS News poll, younger Americans are more likely than older generations to sympathize with the Israeli and Palestinian peoples to about the same extent as older generations, the report said.
It is indicated that at this stage, the majority of representatives of Generation Z and Millennials believe that US support for Israel makes the Middle East more dangerous.
All this is happening against the backdrop of the 2024 presidential campaign. Polls indicate weakening support for Biden among young voters, who are interested in candidates such as Robert Kennedy Jr. and Cornel West.
Despite the Biden administration's achievements on various issues such as student debt and the economy, many young voters remain skeptical about whether the president is doing enough to improve their lives or make the country more equitable.
The NYT adds that the president's team must tread carefully to maintain support among young voters who seek bold leadership that puts the most vulnerable first, including making real progress toward a state of Palestine side by side with a strong, democratic Israel.
Earlier, the White House warned the US Congress about the limitations of its resources to support Ukraine in the future.
