As the 2024 Democratic National Convention begins in Chicago, Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz are set to accept the party's nominations. However, tensions surrounding Israel and Palestine are expected to be on the forefront of discussions, with thousands of pro-Palestine demonstrators expected to protest the event. While the DNC schedule does not currently show any events specifically addressing Israel, there will be a panel discussing Palestinian human rights, featuring Palestinian voices and Jewish congressman Andy Levin. The Jewish Democratic Council of America will also be hosting an event "on the sidelines" of the convention to address antisemitism and extremism.
