The American president Joe Biden ordered to block, for humanitarian reasons, the deportation of Palestinians from U.S for 18 months, the White House announced Wednesday.

The president signed an order that “the expulsion of certain Palestinians is postponed” in U.S “in light of the current conflict and humanitarian needs” at the Gaza stripsaid National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan.

Biden faces growing rejection in the middle of an election year for supporting the offensive Israel in Link.

The New York Times indicated that this measure preventing deportation could be applied to about 6,000 Palestinians under a law that allows migrants stay in the United States if your home countries are in crisis.

The decision takes place while the The White House seeks to calm growing anger among voters over Israel’s war in Gaza, which could hurt Biden’s re-election chances in November.

But this also happens in the middle of a migration crisis due to the large number of people illegally crossing the southern border of Mexico towards the United States.
