A leaked draft of the Democratic Party’s 2024 platform, disclosed by Politico, suggests minimal deviation from President Joe Biden’s contentious stance on Israel’s war on Gaza should he secure reelection.
The 80-page document, slated for formal endorsement at the upcoming Democratic National Convention in Chicago, includes a detailed segment on the Middle East, indicating the party’s refusal to envisage any new headway in ending a war that has killed close to 40,000 Palestinians in 10 months.
The platform highlighted President Biden’s unwavering backing of Israel’s military atrocities in Gaza, citing instances such as arms shipments and diplomatic shielding from UN scrutiny on ceasefire resolutions and human rights concerns.
Additionally, it underscored Biden’s active engagement at the highest diplomatic echelons to broker a ceasefire agreement between ‘Israel’ and Hamas despite that he unequivocally reaffirmed U.S. support for Hamas’s defeat, within this section about the Middle east.
