Pro-Gaza organizers say they're looking to have language in the party's platform explicitly supporting a permanent cease-fire and an "immediate arms embargo on Israel's assault and occupation against Palestinians." They're also seeking to engage with Harris, her campaign, Mr. Biden and White House administrative staff working on Gaza-related policy. After meeting with Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last week, Harris said that "Israel has a right to defend itself," but "how it does so matters." She added that she pushed the prime minister to get a cease-fire deal done, that she will "not be silent" about the casualties in Gaza and that she supports a two-state solution. "To everyone who has been calling for a cease-fire and to everyone who yearns for peace, I see you and I hear you," she said. "Let's get the deal done so we can get a ceasefire to end the war. Let's bring the hostages home. And let's provide much-needed relief to the Palestinian people."Waleed Shahid, an advisor to the "uncommitted" movement, said while Harris' empathy towards Palestinians is a "step in the right direction, people just want a policy change to stop the supply of American bombs to Israel's war."In addition to advocating for a U.S. policy change of restricting weapons for Israel, the group's focus at the convention is getting a five-minute speaking slot for Dr. Tanya Haj-Hassan, a pediatric intensive care physician who has worked on the ground in Gaza. They are also looking for a similar speaking slot for one of their delegates.

Transgender minors in Florida cannot be prescribed puberty blockers or other hormonal treatments, even if their parents approve, while the state hashes out legal concerns over its gender-affirming care ban, a federal court ruled this week.A federal appeals court this week removed a temporary hold on the enforcement of restrictions the state adopted last year in a wave of more than two dozen states that have sought to curb access to hormone replacement treatment for people younger than 18.Youths already undergoing gender-affirming care measures when Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed the law in May 2023 have been allowed to continue. Transition surgery is not permitted for anyone younger than 18 in Florida.In a 2-1 ruling, the 11th Circuit judges determined that the law appeared to have been adopted in good faith out of health concerns and that there would be no reason to stop its enforcement while parents of transgender children and transgender adults challenged the law.The court also ordered that the broader case be expedited.
