Dozens of Muslim delegates and their allies, angry at US support for Israel’s offensive in Gaza, are seeking changes in the Democratic platform and plan to press for an arms embargo, putting the party on guard for disruptions to high-profile speeches at the convention, Reuters.

Roman Fritz, at 19 one of the youngest Wisconsin delegates, wore a scarf imprinted with the traditional Palestinian keffiyeh pattern. He said he supported Harris as the party nominee to beat Trump.

Some protesters were doubtful that the party would change its platform.

“It’ll never happen,” said Mwalimu Sundiata Keita, who travelled from Cincinnati, Ohio, to join the protest. “It’s the policy of the party to support Israel, and until that policy changes, that’s the way it’s going to be.”

Another large protest was scheduled for Thursday, when Kamala Harris is due to formally accept the nomination.
