Right - the anti-Israel wing of the party didn't want Shapiro for this reason, they wanted Walz, who is more progressive and more of a champion of labor. She picked Walz. Apparently, two days later, they now want her now to make the appropriate noises about ceasefire to genuflect to their issue. To me, this indicates there's no point to doing so - that will then not be enough and she'll have to denounce Israel.
Summary of Trump's speech (obviously not a sympathetic one but who cares).
