Kamala Harris Faces Pressure from US Voters to Shift Policy on Gaza Amid Democratic Convention

The Democratic National Convention in Chicago featured a symbolic vote to crown Kamala Harris as the party's candidate in the US presidential elections, with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate. However, some delegates expressed disapproval of President Joe Biden's response to the war in Gaza, with some covering their mouths during his speech. Uncommitted delegates have called for Kamala Harris to support a Gaza ceasefire. A group of Palestinian American delegates staged an impromptu sit-in outside the convention center, advocating for a permanent immediate ceasefire, an arms embargo, and other measures to support the Palestinian people.
