Democrats reject Gaza protesters demand to give speaking slot to Palestinian

Democrats have rejected demands from demonstrators to allow a Palestinian to speak at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
Uncommitted delegates who oppose US support of Israel’s war in Gaza began a sit-in protest just outside of the arena doors on Wednesday night.
On Thursday, the deadline protesters was set to hear from Kamala Harris’s campaign as activists said they had not received a response to their requests for a Palestinian to be allowed to take the stage.
The sit-in protest on the final night of the convention came as thousands of demonstrators outside the perimeter continued to rally against the war in Gaza and White House policy.
