New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez used her Monday night speech to fire up the crowd, including a mention of a hot-button issue dividing many progressives: Israel's grinding war in Gaza.

"She is working tirelessly to secure a ceasefire in Gaza and bringing hostages home," Ocasio-Cortez said of Kamala Harris to cheers.

The quick line was notable in that it was the first mention of the crisis so far at the Democratic National Convention, where demonstrators outside the arena have been protesting the Biden administration's support for Israel.
