Dozens of Muslim delegates and their allies will push for changes to the Democratic agenda and plan to call for an arms embargo against Israel this week during the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Reuters reported, BTA reported.
The self-proclaimed "Delegates Against Genocide" A pro-Palestinian group says it will exercise its right to free speech during the four-day convention where US Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to be nominated for the US presidency.
The group's organizers refuse to reveal details, but say they will propose amendments to the party program and exercise their right to speak at the event.
US President Joe Biden is expected to speak later today, and Kamala Harris will give a closing speech on Thursday.
Pro-Palestinian delegates say they deserve a greater role in setting the party's agenda. Chicago is home to the largest Palestinian community in the US, and today hundreds of pro-Palestinian activists have already protested downtown with slogans calling for an end to US military aid to Israel.
