Democratic Socialists of America withdraws support from Ocasio-Cortez over Gaza

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) have revoked their conditional endorsement of Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez due to her lack of support for efforts to end Israel's war on Gaza.

Ocasio-Cortez, once regarded as one of the Democratic Party's most outspoken progressives, is now facing criticism from those advocating for an end to the conflict in Gaza over her support for President Biden and his funding for Israel.

In a statement released on Wednesday, the DSA said, "A national DSA endorsement comes with a serious commitment to the movement for Palestine and our collective socialist project. We have not seen evidence of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez meeting these conditions," the group added, announcing that they are "withdrawing our conditional endorsement".
