https://www.cnn.com/2025/08/26/politics/dnc-israel-gaza-resolution-vote...
The DNCs resolutions panel considered two measures Tuesday morning at the committees summer meeting in Minneapolis: a proposal introduced by chair Ken Martin that echoed language in the partys platform on the issue and a resolution backed by progressives that called for a suspension of military aid to Israel.
The panel unanimously advanced Martins 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
...
It was a dramatic ending to one of the most controversial resolutions before the committee. One audience member shouted youve got to be f**king kidding me after the progressive-backed resolution failed. Martin later huddled off to the side with the sponsors of that resolution before deciding to withdraw his own.
