White House pushes back on Tlaib suggesting Biden supporting ‘genocide’

BY OLAFIMIHAN OSHIN - 11/05/23 2:59 PM ET

The White House is pushing back against Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s (D-Mich.) claim that President Biden is supporting the “genocide” against Palestinians amid the ongoing war between Israel and the militant group Hamas.

During an appearance on ABC’s “This Week,” anchor George Stephanopoulos asked White House deputy national security adviser Jon Finer about the recent comments Tliab made about the ongoing conflict.

“Look, we strongly disagree with some of that messaging and with some of the terms used to describe this conflict,” Finer told Stephanopoulos on Sunday.

“But what I will say is we know that this is a conflict about which there are strong views on all sides, including in the United States, including frankly, even within the United States — the Biden administration about the conduct of this conflict.”

Finer also said the administration has seen congressional members on both sides share their strong opinions on the matter, noting that they “respect the fact that there are people who have deep personal ties to this conflict in a way that may have been unusual in terms of the recent world events.”
