Pelosi-backed candidate Connie Chan calls for Israel arms embargo

Original: ⚡ NEWS Pelosi-backed US candidate calls for arms embargo on Israel Connie Chan, endorsed by Nancy Pelosi to succeed her

Connie Chan, the San Francisco supervisor endorsed by Nancy Pelosi to succeed her in California's congressional seat, has announced she will vote for a full arms embargo on Israel, saying it is needed to 'end a genocide in Gaza'. The stance is notable given Pelosi's longstanding support for Israel, and it fuels debate over Democratic positions on the Gaza war.

Why now: The contrast between Chan's embargo pledge and her endorsement by Pelosi, a strong Israel supporter, makes her stance newsworthy.
