Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Ken Martin on Tuesday withdrew a resolution regarding the Israel-Hamas conflict after receiving pushback when a rival resolution failed to pass, which prompted an outcry from younger members.
Democrats have been heavily divided on Israel since war broke out in 2023 between Israel and Hamas, following Hamas' terrorist attack inside Israel on October 7, killing about 1,200 and taking another 251 people hostage. Younger party members have called for stronger opposition to Israel's response to the conflict, which many Democrats blame for the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
