Pro-Palestinian Delegates Protest at DNC

Pro-Palestinian delegates at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) have staged sit-in protests after being denied a speaking slot to address the situation in Gaza. Despite support from several prominent figures and groups, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the United Auto Workers union, the DNC has refused their request, aiming to preserve party unity. The Muslim Women for Harris-Walz group has revoked their support for the Harris campaign over this decision. The delegates, led by Abbas Alawieh, have expressed their frustration with the Democratic Party's ongoing support for Israel and are demanding an arms embargo and immediate ceasefire in Gaza. The protests have highlighted internal tensions within the Democratic Party, which could impact its unity and electoral prospects.
