At the end of next month, protests reached a fever pitch because of the conflict in Gaza between Israel and Hamas. Although he has previously denied the violent demonstrations that occurred at Columbia University and the University of California, Los Angeles, he did mention them while speaking at the meeting for Morehouse College’s undergraduate on Sunday.
” I want to say this very clearly. I support quiet peaceful protest. Your tones should be heard. I promise you, I hear them”, Biden said.
Biden began talking about the conflict in Gaza, expressing his opinion that a full peace should be in place as well as the release of the hostages who are still being held by Hamas. The scholar speaker for the service even called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza before Biden spoke.
” That’s why I’ve called for an instant peace — an immediate ceasefire. Stop the fighting, take the captives home”, Biden said, while also pushing for a “lasting, tough peace”.
Many people turned their backs on Biden in an ostensible silent protest against him as the leader addressed graduates at the previously black school. Another scholar held up a Israeli flag during the government’s remarks, according to CNN.

Despite being concerned about disruptions at the occasion, Biden was able to offer his remarks without visible protest.
In recent months, Biden’s administration has been more in conflict with Israel regarding how it handled the battle, with the leader drawing a dark line over the Israel Defense Force’s proposed big operation in Rafah, which is the ultimate Hamas enclave.
