The panel rejected a resolution, brought by a 26-year-old new DNC member, calling for an arms embargo on Israel and a recognition of Palestinian statehood. It calls for shared advocacy, and that’s why I’ve decided today, at this moment, listening to the testimony and listening to people in our party, to withdraw my … resolution,” Martin said. Resolutions passed by the DNC resolutions committee are meant to elevate principles consistent with the party’s platform and are largely symbolic. Florida DNC member Allison Minnerly told reporters after the meeting she was disappointed Democrats didn’t pass her resolution. So while it’s important that the conversation started today, the chair has placed a comma on that conversation,” Minnerly said.
