Vice President Kamala Harris, now the Democratic presidential nominee, strongly supports Israel’s right to self-defense while emphasizing the urgent need for Palestinian respect and security amid the ongoing Gaza crisis. She advocates for a cease-fire and the release of hostages to address the humanitarian situation.
In her most detailed remarks to date on the Israel-Hamas conflict and the humanitarian situation in Gaza, Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, affirmed her steadfast support for Israel’s right to defend itself. Addressing the ongoing crisis, Harris emphasized that Israel must be able to protect itself from future attacks and prevent a recurrence of the tragic events of October 7.
“I will always stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself,” Harris declared, highlighting the critical need for security and safety for Israeli citizens. She also expressed profound concern over the devastating impact of the conflict on Gaza, describing the recent months as “heartbreaking” and marked by significant loss of innocent lives.
Harris, alongside President Biden, continues to advocate for a cease-fire that includes the release of hostages and a resolution to the fighting in Gaza. Her proposed solution aims to ensure that the Palestinian people can achieve their right to dignity, security, freedom, and self-determination.
Historically, Harris’s stance has closely aligned with Biden’s administration’s support for Israel, including ongoing military aid, despite growing pro-Palestinian sentiments and protests. Harris previously met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, pledging an “unwavering commitment” to Israel while also acknowledging the critical humanitarian issues in Gaza.
Former President Donald Trump criticized Harris, accusing her of anti-Israel sentiment and criticizing her absence during Netanyahu’s congressional address. Harris’s comments come as part of her broader effort to balance strong support for Israel with a commitment to addressing humanitarian concerns in the region.
