Inside US Democrats’ Gaza fight – and what it means for 2028 elections

US Democrats are experiencing a significant internal division regarding support for Israel, a shift from previous political consensus.

The article explores whether this division represents a lasting turning point for the Democratic Party's long-standing bipartisan support for Israel.
