CNN - Senior White House officials are planning to meet with Arab, Muslim and Palestinian-American community leaders in Chicago today, sources told CNN, as President Joe Biden grapples with anger across the country about the Israel-Hamas war. Officials are also expected to more broadly discuss concerns about Islamophobia in the US. Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and other top US officials have escalated calls for a temporary ceasefire and to ramp up humanitarian aid going into Gaza, urging Israel to do more to protect civilians. But negotiations remain stalled amid the mounting death toll. The latest violence has caused more than 1,200 deaths in Israel and more than 31,000 in Gaza, according to authorities on both sides.
