On Tuesday, Rep. Elise Stefanik, a Republican from New York, criticized Vice President Kamala Harris, who is also the presumptive Democratic nominee, for not attending the Joint Address by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Stefanik accused the Democratic Party of turning its back on Israel, a key ally, and claimed that they are trying to appease a radical antisemitic base within their party.
Stefanik's statement highlighted a growing divide between Republicans and Democrats on issues related to Israel and antisemitism. The criticism of Harris not attending the Joint Address reflects broader tensions within American politics regarding foreign policy and Middle East relations.
