Doctor who walked out of meeting with Biden 'not satisfied' with president's stance on Israel-Hamas war

Dr. Thaer Ahmad, a board member with MedGlobal, said Tuesday that he walked out of a meeting with President Biden at the White House to protest the administration's actions on the Israel-Hamas war.
