Human rights groups have expressed outrage over the ongoing conflict in Israel and the Gaza Strip. On Tuesday, President Joe Biden urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to minimize civilian casualties in the Gaza Strip as Israel sets out to destroy Hamas in reprisal for the deadliest attack the country has experienced in the last 50 years.
The Biden administration is working with other countries to create a plan that would provide safe passage out of the densely populated Gaza Strip for civilians who risk getting caught in the crossfire.
Former President Donald Trump used the conflict to stoke fears about immigration into the United States. During a campaign rally in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, Trump pledged to reimpose a travel ban on people coming from predominantly Muslim countries if he is elected president in 2024.
Trump instituted a similar travel ban shortly after taking office in 2017, barring people from seven countries from entering the United States. Human rights groups have condemned the ban, calling it inhumane and unjust.
