[HIGHLIGHTS] Biden protects Palestinians living in the US from deportation

Biden protects Palestinians living in the US from deportation. In doing so, he also responds to criticism of his support for the Israeli offensive.

According to the New York Times, around 6,000 Palestinians will benefit from his order. There is "a desperate need" for protections for Palestinians in the United States, Abed Ayoub, executive director of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, said in a statement. The USA is an important supporter of Israel, but criticism is growing after the Israeli army's harsh actions.
