Axios revealed that the Democratic National Committee, which US President Joe Biden relies on in his re-election campaign, is in a state of turmoil and division due to the war between Israel and Hamas.

Some aides believe that the White House is “inciting an immoral attack on the Palestinians,” while others believe that Biden is showing “moral clarity in protecting Israel from terrorists,” according to what the site reports in a report.

The report says divisions within the Democratic National Committee are mainly between older, pro-Israel Democrats and younger progressives who are more sympathetic to the plight of Palestinians.

“The president has focused his 2020 campaign on a battle for the soul of the nation, but it appears as if the administration is currently in a battle for its own soul,” a senior Democratic National Committee official who requested anonymity told Axios.

"I don't know how you can not see support for the widespread killing of Palestinian civilians as something immoral," the official added.

Democratic National Committee Chairman Jaime Harrison told Axios in a statement that Biden "continues to demonstrate unparalleled leadership and moral clarity," adding that "Israel has the right to defend itself from terrorism and the continuing threat posed by Hamas."

Harrison noted that Biden, who called for a “humanitarian truce” in the fighting in Gaza, but not a ceasefire, was “a strong advocate for humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza as well as the protection of civilian lives.”

Axios reports that some committee employees were shaken by emails and phone calls from Democratic donors angry at the administration's policy, according to a person familiar with the matter.

The Democratic National Committee declined to comment to Axios on any discontent among staff, supporters and donors.

On Friday, 51 of the committee’s employees, or about 17 percent of its approximately 300 employees, signed a letter to their leaders saying, “We feel it is the committee’s moral duty to urge President Biden to publicly call for a ceasefire.”

The staff also wrote that they were "shocked and saddened by the unfathomable loss of life in the brutal attack on Israeli civilians" and that they mourned "the thousands of Palestinian civilians who lost their lives during the Israeli government's military response."

Several House Democrats revealed that they expect more of their colleagues to begin speaking out about the humanitarian situation in Gaza, and one pro-Israel lawmaker told the site, “It will be very difficult for Democrats, given what we see on the news, to turn a blind eye to what is happening.” in Gaza".

On October 7, Hamas launched an unprecedented attack in the history of Israel, causing the death of nearly 1,400 people, most of whom were civilians who died on the first day of the attack, according to the Israeli authorities.

Since then, Israel has responded with devastating bombing of the Gaza Strip, where 9,488 people were killed, most of them civilians, according to the Hamas Ministry of Health.
