The White House senior staff allegedly held “wellness” meetings for Muslim, Arab, and Palestinian aides to discuss the war and its impact on these individuals.
The meetings, named “listening sessions,” held about 100 staffers and were described by Politico as a review of the Biden administration’s position on the war.
National security adviser Jake Sullivan conducted one of the meetings, emphasizing that “not everyone agrees with it and has their own strong, personal feelings about the fighting.”
Chief of Staff Jeff Zients also hosted a call with President Joe Biden’s cabinet secretaries to “ensure they are reaching out to their Muslim, Arab American and Palestinian staff along with Jewish staff.”
From Breitbart:
The Department of State and the Department of Defense are reportedly taking measures to calm descent. Secretary of State Antony Blinken noted the conflict in a letter to aides last week and held meetings with Arab, Muslim, and Jewish employees. The DOD provided employees who are “struggling with the conflict” mental health resources, a department official told Politico.
