Minneapolis —
A Democratic National Committee panel on Tuesday failed to advance dueling resolutions on the party’s stance on Israel’s war in Gaza, after one proposal was voted down and a second was withdrawn.
The DNC’s resolutions panel considered two measures Tuesday morning at the committee’s summer meeting in Minneapolis: a proposal introduced by chair Ken Martin that echoed language in the party’s platform on the issue and a resolution backed by progressives that called for a suspension of military aid to Israel.
The panel unanimously advanced Martin’s resolution and voted down the resolution calling for an arms embargo. Martin later made the stunning decision to withdraw his resolution to allow for further discussion, a motion that was also supported by the whole committee.
