Pro-Palestinian protests increase pressure on Biden

An outbreak of pro-Palestinian protests and clashes with police on US college campuses has also caused friction among diplomats trying to broker a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in the Middle East.

It is said that these developments are putting the US president, Joe Biden, in a not very good position.

That's because he's caught between a left wing that wants peace and Americans worried that the unrest is disrupting university education and posing a threat to order.

US police in recent weeks have arrested more than 2,000 protesters on dozens of college campuses.

For months, President Biden has resisted calls from the Democratic left to back away from his vocal support for Israel.

He continued to support Israel despite the obvious political danger and despite criticism.
