Democratic National Committee split over arms embargo on Israel

The US Democratic Party is experiencing a significant internal division over its policy towards Israel, specifically concerning a potential arms embargo and the suspension of military aid due to the war in Gaza. During a recent Democratic National Committee (DNC) meeting, a resolution calling for an arms embargo, introduced by a younger progressive member, was defeated. A more moderate resolution calling for a ceasefire and a two-state solution was also withdrawn in an effort to maintain party unity. This divide reflects a broader shift in public opinion, with a majority of Democrats now holding an unfavorable view of Israel, and highlights a growing generational and ideological split within the party.
