Israel-Gaza conflict impacts US election dynamics and voter sentiment

theconversation.com — August 21, 2024, 05:00 PM UTC

As the Democratic National Convention began on August 19, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced Israel's acceptance of a ceasefire proposal, while Hamas remained unresponsive. Tensions escalated after the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris, now leading the Democratic ticket, has shifted focus towards Gaza's civilian welfare, potentially influencing voter sentiment in key swing states like Michigan, where Arab American votes are critical.
