United States Vice President Kamala Harris is said to be encouraging tougher action by the U.S. against Israel. This move comes amidst the rise of anti-Israel protests occurring nationwide, notably in major cities like New York and Los Angeles. Instances of anti-Semitism are rampant, with menorahs being vandalized during Hanukkah, draped with Palestinian flags.
In addition to the nationwide protests, college campuses are also hosting anti-Israel protests and some have escalated to violence. In response to these occurrences, Vice President Harris is said to be urging President Biden to be stricter with Israel and demonstrate greater concern for Palestinians residing in areas like the Gaza Strip.
