Vice President Kamala Harris’ office has rejected a suggestion from a senior Israeli official that her remarks criticizing Israel’s conduct in its war against Hamas could have hindered a ceasefire deal. The official stated that Harris' comments might be seen as creating a divide between the US and Israel, potentially complicating negotiations.
Harris emphasized the need for an immediate ceasefire and expressed concerns about civilian casualties and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Her office clarified that her message to Prime Minister Netanyahu aligned with President Biden's stance, urging for a swift ceasefire and hostage deal.
