Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris told pro-Palestine demonstrators who interrupted her Arizona campaign speech that Israel-Gaza ceasefire is needed.
Harris addressed an estimated 15,000 supporters in Glendale, Arizona, one of the states she’s trying to win from Republican Donald Trump. Demonstrators screamed, “Free, free Palestine”.
Harris addressed the demonstrators on Friday, saying, “I have been clear: now is the time to get a ceasefire deal and get the hostage deal done.”
The vice president supports the Biden administration. Her team also wants her to arrange a truce. Similar to two parallel worlds, Lavelle remarked.
Harris also told demonstrators, “The president and I are working around the clock every day to get that ceasefire deal done and bring the hostages home. We’re here to talk about the 2024 race, but I value your voices.
Harris appeared upset Wednesday at an event in Michigan as pro-Palestine protestors repeatedly interrupted her address, shouting, “Kamala, Kamala you can’t hide, we won’t vote for genocide.”
Harris replied bluntly. Say it if you want Donald Trump to win. Otherwise, I speak.”
Harris knows that in areas like Michigan, with large Arab-American communities, there is discontent with the lack of progress in Gaza, which is not getting as much publicity locally as it does globally. She’ll be eager to discuss it, he continued.
In July, Harris met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington, DC, and stated she was “unwavering” in her support of Israel but “will not be silent” in the face of the “tragedies” in Gaza.
Qatar, Egypt, and the US want Israel and Hamas to resume truce talks on August 15.
As the Gaza war enters its 10th month, the US sends billions in military aid and weapons to Israel.
The Gaza Ministry of Health reported Saturday that Israel’s war on the territory has killed 39,790 and wounded 92,002. Israel lost 1,139 people to Hamas-led strikes on October 7, and over 200 were captured.
After choosing Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate, Harris has embarked on a weeklong tour to boost her campaign in seven states that might decide the November 5 election.
