Sep 17, 2024, 06:50 PM
In recent interviews, Vice President Kamala Harris emphasized the urgent need to end the war in Gaza and reiterated her support for a two-state solution. During a CNN interview, US Congresswoman Ilhan Omar called for concrete answers and actionable steps from Harris, urging her to leverage US influence over Israel to enforce a ceasefire. Harris has stated that she is applying pressure equally to all sides and has been actively meeting with both Israeli and Arab officials. She also mentioned her support for a pause on 2000 lb bombs to Israel as leverage to force a ceasefire against Hamas. In her NABJ interview, Harris highlighted the need to prevent the re-occupation of Gaza and acknowledged the high number of innocent Palestinians killed. However, Harris has not specified any new policy changes and has been criticized for not holding Hamas fully accountable for starting the war and holding hostages.
