A majority of 15 Arab American groups set to meet with Biden campaign official Julie Chavez Rodriguez in Dearborn, Michigan, have decided to skip it, Ahmad Chebbani, co-founder of the Arab American Chamber of Commerce, told Reuters last week. 

“We’re not interested,” Chebbani said. “Only when a ceasefire has been announced and the people of Gaza are taken care of, then will a discussion be appropriate.”

Biden is expected to meet with the United Auto Workers and tentatively, Arab American groups in the purple state of Michigan this week.
