DNC Committee Rejects a Resolution Calling For an Arms Embargo on Israel [1]

['Alex Roarty']

Date: 2025-08-26 15:35:55.694000

A polarizing resolution calling for an arms embargo on Israel was voted down Tuesday by members of the Democratic National Committee.

But in a surprise development, DNC Chair Ken Martin announced after the vote that he was forming a task force to continue discussion of the issue, indicating that the committee planned to consider a new resolution about the issue at a later date.

In announcing his support for the task force, Martin withdrew support for a prior resolution — one he had introduced and backed — that called for a ceasefire in Israel’s war on Gaza. That resolution had already been approved by the DNC’s Resolutions Committee, but was withdrawn at the chair’s behest.
