Democratic Convention Faces Backlash Over Palestinian Speaker Exclusion

Rep. Summer Lee and other Democrats criticize the DNC for not including a Palestinian voice amid ongoing Gaza conflict.

Rep. Summer Lee argued the DNC missed an opportunity to represent Palestinian perspectives.
The exclusion led to the disbanding of the group Muslim Women for Harris-Walz.
Protests and sit-ins were held by uncommitted delegates and progressive lawmakers.
Vice President Harris reiterated support for Israel and called for a ceasefire and two-state solution.
The decision has sparked internal tensions within the Democratic Party.
