democratic national committee israel gaza resolution.

The Democratic National Committee leadership has withdrawn a measure that would have clarified the party’s position on the Israel-Hamas war. A resolution backed by DNC leadership, including Chair Ken Martin, was approved unanimously during Tuesday’s meeting of the party’s resolution committee. But after pushback from progressive members later in the meeting, Martin surprised those on both sides of the debate by withdrawing his resolution and calling instead for a task force to study the issue further. The delay prolongs a sensitive political debate that has divided Democrats for much of the last year.
