EXCLUSIVE — Nearly 100 organizations planning to protest against Israel next week in Chicago outside the Democratic National Convention are under the spotlight in a new report by a watchdog group.

The report, authored by NGO Monitor, highlights how left-wing activist hubs sympathizing with Hamas after its Oct. 7 terrorist attack on Israel are aiming to pressure Democrats to adopt anti-Israel policies. The forthcoming protest, which was dealt a blow this week after a federal judge rejected a request from activists for more space to demonstrate, comes as Republicans raise concerns over whether Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, will be tough on Hamas.
