"DNC resolutions, on their own, mean little as Israel continues to bombard and starve out Gaza, where the death toll exceeds 60,000. Donald Trump controls the government, not the Democrats, and he has enabled, like his predecessor Joe Biden, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu at every turn, pumping the nation with armaments and sanctioning all military action. But the feebleness of the Democratic Party is notable; its leaders truly have no sense of the current moment."
"One proposal, voted down, called for the suspension of military aid to Israel. A second resolution, advanced by DNC chair Ken Martin, called for "secure and unrestricted delivery of humanitarian assistance" in Gaza, reaffirmed the DNC's backing of a cease-fire and the release of hostages, and stated the committee supports a two-state solution. Martin, though, withdrew his own resolution, hoping instead to discuss it with the committee further."
The Democratic National Committee failed to advance two competing resolutions on the Israel-Gaza war, reflecting sharp internal divisions. One proposal sought suspension of military aid to Israel; another, advanced by DNC chair Ken Martin, demanded secure, unrestricted humanitarian deliveries, backed a cease-fire, urged hostage releases, and endorsed a two-state solution. Martin withdrew his resolution to pursue further discussion and acknowledged party disagreement. Gaza faces massive casualties exceeding 60,000 amid continued bombardment and blockade. The federal government under Donald Trump continues to enable Israeli military action, and polls show large majorities opposing additional military aid, including a strong Democratic opposition.
