CAIR National described the aid as a "blank check" allowing the Israeli government to purchase the "offensive weapons it has used to slaughter at least 34,000 Palestinians in Gaza."

"Giving Netanyahu this blank check after all of the war crimes his government has committed would make our nation fully complicit in the Gaza genocide and likely mark a breaking point for what remains of Biden's relationship with not only American Muslims, but many other Americans of all backgrounds opposed to the genocide," CAIR wrote in a statement.

Muslim and Arab American community leaders refused to meet with Biden's campaign director in late January. Arab Americans living in Michigan have traditionally been reliable Democrats, with Biden carrying over 75% of the vote in the Arab-majority city of Dearborn in 2020.
Michigan is essentially a must-win state for Biden come Election Day. He carried the state by just over 150,000 votes against former President Trump in 2020. The Arab and Muslim communities in the state number roughly 300,000, meaning a significant drop in support could swing the pendulum toward Republicans.
