The Democratic Party rejected a proposal calling for an arms embargo on Israel and suspension of security aid, and instead approved a resolution formulated by party chairman Ken Martin. The approved proposal calls for an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages held by Hamas, increasing humanitarian aid to Gaza and emphasizes the party's commitment to a two-state solution. The proposal also condemns the October 7 massacre, refers to Hamas as a terrorist organization and criticizes the extremist ministers in Israel's government.
