- President Biden met with a small group of Muslims at the White House, where Dr. Thaer Ahmad walked out early to signal a stronger commitment from the White House to end the war and provide humanitarian aid in Gaza.
- Dr. Ahmad recently returned from Gaza, where he was treating patients at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis before it became inoperable due to fighting.
- Another doctor, Dr. Nahreen Ahmed, felt Biden was 'somewhat dismissive' during the meeting when she showed photos of suffering she had witnessed. She perceived the meeting as an attempt to manage the community without adequate empathy for the participants' concerns.
- The White House had initially planned an iftar dinner with Muslim leaders but changed to a meeting with Biden due to concerns. Biden's previous meeting with Muslim leaders in October was criticized for not genuinely listening to Muslim and Palestinian perspectives.
