President Joe Biden will skip the bipartisan “March for Israel” rally set for the Mall in Washington, DC, on Tuesday.
Biden’s absence appears to show a political calculation to avoid sparking additional backlash among far-left Democrats, who adamantly oppose the administration’s policy positions on Israel’s defensive measures against Hamas.
William Daroff, rally organizer and CEO of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, told Fox News he invited Biden to attend.
Biden replied to Daroff he was too busy preparing for his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday in California, Daroff conveyed on Fox News Tuesday morning.
