The White House has made changes to its plans for President Joe Biden to host an iftar dinner with Muslim community leaders amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. Instead of the traditional dinner, a meeting will be held with the group due to concerns raised by attendees.
According to sources, there was pushback from expected attendees who felt it would be inappropriate to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Gaza over dinner. As a result, the event will now focus on policy discussions rather than a celebratory meal.
