During the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, President Joe Biden acknowledged the concerns of pro-Palestinian protesters, who had gathered in large numbers outside the event to oppose U.S. support for Israel's actions in Gaza. Addressing the issue directly, Biden stated that the protesters "have a point," highlighting the loss of innocent lives on both sides of the conflict. The moment was significant as it reflected the deep divisions within the Democratic Party on the issue of U.S. policy towards the Israel-Gaza conflict.
