CNN —When President Joe Biden met with a group of Muslim community leaders this week, he recounted a recent conversation he had with first lady Jill Biden relating to the conflict in Gaza.
Another participant, who declined to be named, told CNN they remembered the president saying that the first lady had used these words: “Stop it.
“Just like the President, the First Lady is heartbroken over the attacks on aid workers and the on-going loss of innocent lives in Gaza,” said Elizabeth Alexander, communications director for the first lady.
The president and first lady have both appeared with Andres on trips abroad and highlighted World Central Kitchen’s work.
