US EditionDNC Leaders Are Pretending That US Weapons Don't Enable the Slaughter in Gaza
The Democratic National Committee debates a resolution amid rising Democratic disapproval of Israel's actions, with 71% of ages 18-49 holding unfavorable views, highlighting internal party divisions.
- On August 26, 2025 the Democratic National Committee will consider Allison Minnerly's arms-embargo resolution calling for suspension of U.S. military aid to Israel and recognition of Palestine.
- Amid plunging Democratic support for Israel, approval fell to 8% last month and 71% of young Democrats disapproved; Progressive Democrats of America and others backed the embargo on August 21, 2025.
- The resolution's text cites a humanitarian toll of over 60,000 deaths and 1.7 million displaced in Gaza, supported by 27 Democratic members of the U.S. Senate and three activist groups.
- On Tuesday a DNC panel blocked the embargo resolution after debate, and if the Resolutions Committee rejects it, the full 448-member DNC won't vote; meanwhile, DNC Chair Ken Martin's weaker resolution passed.
- Party strategists warn the split underscores a growing divide among Democrats, reflecting a 4.5 million voter-registration swing that could affect Democratic Party leadership's electoral prospects next year.
