According to sources, the delegates, who were set to attend the convention as part of a long-standing tradition of inclusivity, received a letter from convention officials late Tuesday evening stating that they would not be granted a speaking slot. The decision has been met with outrage from human rights advocates, Democratic Party faithful, and pro-Palestinian activists alike.

"I’m devastated," said Nadine Shahin, a Palestinian American delegate from California. "We came prepared to share our stories, our struggles, and our hopes for a better future for the people of Palestine. Instead, we’ve been shut down by a committee of power-hungry bureaucrats who can’t seem to get beyond their own partisan ideology."

The decision to deny the speaking slot has been criticized as yet another example of the Democratic Party’s lack of commitment to promoting Middle East peace and human rights.
"As long as the Democratic Party remains wedded to the AIPAC-backed status quo, it’s hard to see how it will ever be serious about working towards a just and peaceful solution for Palestine," said Jodi Williams, a human rights activist with Jewish Voice for Peace. "The refusal to give these delegates a voice on the convention floor is just another illustration of the party’s ongoing refusal to grapple with the realities of occupation, apartheid, and ethnic cleansing."

In response to the backlash, a DNC spokesperson issued a statement asserting that the decision was made solely based on convention scheduling and logistical constraints. "Unfortunately, due to time limitations, not every delegate or delegate-group can be given a speaking slot. This is nothing new, and it has been done at every convention."
