(JTA) Ron Kampeas - The Democratic Party platform, approved by the party's platform committee, preserves the pro-Israel language of previous versions and lacerates Hamas for launching the current war with Israel from Gaza. It says, "President Biden and Vice President Harris believe a strong, secure, and democratic Israel is vital to the interests of the United States. Their commitment to Israel's security, its qualitative military edge, its right to defend itself, and the 2016 Memorandum of Understanding is ironclad."
