Amidst continued protests against the situation in Gaza, US President Joe Biden informed the Morehouse College graduating class that he was listening to their opinions.
“I support peaceful nonviolent protest,” he told students, some who wore kaffiyeh scarves around their shoulders on top of their black graduation robes.
“Your voices should be heard, and I promise you I hear them.”
“It’s a humanitarian crisis in Gaza,” Biden said at the higher education facility in Atlanta, Georgia. “That’s why I’ve called for an immediate cease-fire.”
After several weeks of protests and rallies at several US higher education institutions, mostly targeting US backing for Israel and the military operation in Gaza, Biden paid the visit.
“I know it angers and frustrates many of you including in my family,” he said.
