President Joe Biden informed reporters on Thursday that the anti-Israel demonstrations raging across college campuses would not affect the Israel policy of his administration, following his eventual delivery of brief remarks regarding the situation.
Although Biden refrained from explicitly inviting a question-and-answer segment subsequent to his remarks, he did respond to two bellowed inquiries as he made preparations to vacate the room.
“Mr. President, have the protests forced you to reconsider any of the policies with regard to the region?” a reporter asked.
Without turning to face the assembled press, Biden merely reiterated, “No,” and continued walking.
Reporter: "Have protests influenced policy reconsideration in the region?"
Biden: "No."
Second Reporter: "Should the National Guard intervene?"
Biden: "No."#breaking #JoeBiden #universityprotests pic.twitter.com/50LtuDO3W0— Target Reporter (@Target_Reporter) May 2, 2024
