Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna of California has been advocating for a ceasefire and supporting the president's recent statements. Khanna believes that the timing of the announcement, made before the Michigan primary, is significant and demonstrates the president's responsiveness to his coalition's concerns.
Khanna acknowledged his shift in stance regarding the ceasefire, attributing it to Israel's actions following the October 7th attack. He criticized Netanyahu's government for disproportionate responses and emphasized the need for a permanent ceasefire and the release of hostages.
