More than 50 progressive advocacy groups on Monday sent a letter to former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, urging him to make concession to the left on Middle East policy.
The groups, led by Demand Progress, are calling on Biden to return to the Iran nuclear deal, leverage military aid to Israel to secure concessions over its occupation of the West Bank and blockade on the Gaza Strip and repeal the 2001 military authorization that serves as the legal basis for most US counterterrorism operations throughout the world.
