Overview

• The DNC resolutions committee decisively rejected a progressive-backed proposal to suspend U.S. military aid and halt arms transfers to Israel.
• A more moderate resolution won unanimous support in committee before DNC chair Ken Martin withdrew it, citing a party divide and calling for "shared dialogue."
• Martin said he will convene a stakeholder task force to continue discussions on the party’s approach to the war and U.S. assistance.
• Democratic Majority for Israel welcomed the result, with president Brian Romick calling the embargo push "reckless and divisive."
• The maneuver comes after 27 Senate Democrats backed a late-July bid to block weapons sales and polling showed most Democratic voters favor reducing aid to Israel.
