Will the Squad break away from the Democrats over Israel?

With the ousting of Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) as the GOP conference chair, social media has been buzzing with chatter on the Republican party splitting into two factions — one supporting Trump and the other espousing values of old school conservatism. However, with the events unfolding in the Middle East it would be the Democrats who would have to be concerned over a divided party. 

Starting with Sen. Bernie Sanders’s (I-Vt.) presidential campaign in 2016, there has been a slowly but steadily growing support for progressive proposals such as increasing the minimum wage, Medicare for all, abolishing ICE, a green new deal and a foreign policy that prioritizes human rights, diplomacy and peace over support for military engagement. Of the aforementioned proposals, President Biden, in his first 100 days in office showed an inkling to meet the progressives half way if not further on most of them. A foreign policy that prioritizes human rights, diplomacy and peace over military engagement is unfortunately not one of them, especially in the Middle East.
