Democratic group offers a new framework for the US-Israel relationship as party rifts deepen
The framework urges Democrats to keep military aid flowing while backing a negotiated two-state path and a Gaza future without Hamas.
- On Thursday, Democratic Majority for Israel released a framework calling on the party to continue military and security assistance to Israel while supporting a negotiated path to statehood for Palestinians and a future for Gaza without Hamas.
- The initiative arrives amid deep party fractures following a primary season where voters in New York and Michigan supported candidates backing ended military aid, potentially influencing upcoming House and Senate elections.
- Chief executive Brian Romick said the framework is a "helpful guide for our mainstream Democratic candidates on how to engage with a complicated issue," as about 58% of Democrats now view U.S. support for Israelis as excessive.
- The document takes a less strident approach toward Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, stating "Israel's security does not require support for every decision made by an Israeli government" while calling on Israel to act against settler violence.
- Former Obama administration chief of staff Rahm Emanuel recently warned that Israel risks becoming a "territorial pariah" under Netanyahu, arguing the country reached a "dead end" due to poor American leadership decisions.
