President Biden’s executive order appeared to be aimed in part at Arab American voters who are furious with his administration’s backing of Israel in the war in Gaza.
He was captured by the Japanese in Singapore and was one of thousands of prisoners whose hardships were the basis for the film “The Bridge on the River Kwai.”
The U.S. envoy to the United Nations urged it to “take quick and decisive action” over Israeli allegations that 12 employees of UNRWA, the main aid agency for Palestinians, had taken part in the Oct. 7 attack.
The order served as both a sharp-edged diplomatic notice to Israel and a message to Arab Americans, a key part of the political coalition the president needs to be re-elected.
