Harris says it's time for war in Gaza to end after Netanyahu meeting

Vice President Kamala Harris spoke to reporters Thursday after meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Harris condemned Hamas' Oct. 7 attack and called for an end to the war in Gaza, citing the humanitarian toll. "We cannot look away in the face of these tragedies, we cannot allow ourselves to become numb to the suffering, and I will not be silent," Harris said.

I'm betting on Netanyahu ignoring the American request once again.

Finally hearing our high ranking politicians speak on the horrors people in Gaza are facing and not just Israel is so refreshing and gives me hope.

[coreysmith]

Israel is completely dependent on American aid. This ongoing atrocity ends when Americans say "No." to Israel.

lobby's money is more important than taxe payers

Israeli president said there's no uninvolved civilians in Gaza
Israeli finance minister said that returning the hostages is not the priority
Israeli prime minister said in 2019 that funding hamas is his strategy

It was never about eliminating hamas nor returning the hostages it's just political survival,   land grab and meaningless revenge

Very good straight to the point address regarding BOTH sides of the conflict. It shouldn’t just be all about Israel, it should be about the Palestinians also, cause let’s face it, they are suffering immensely also.

[huizhechen]

There are >5, 000 Palestinian hostages in Israeli prisons, but Israel calls them POWs. This is just a semantic difference. Please don't forget about them, VP Harris.

[JorraneRei]

YES enough is enough!
Rip to all the innocent children… 😞

[matty_o]

It's promising to hear this. Hope it carries weight.

[chriswilliams]

Clear and concise. I appreciate the fact that she addressed both sides.

[nobsskin]

“i will not be silent” you’ve been for a year.

[thedateful]

And all Gaza refugees and Palestinians will be allowed free entry, benefits and path for citizenship to USA…

[corydor]

I admit that I was not a Harris fan, but this speech was the best I have heard from any American politician since the beginning of this war.

[atniem]

She addressed BOTH sides to this. The conflict overall is HORRIFIC. But she is not picking one side or the other. She is clearly stating that both sides have suffered and that there IS a solution if BOTH sides can agree to it.

[ChefJ_reece]

Not a Kamala fan but it nice to hear someone speak professionally again.

[banditlord]

Me over here knowing for years this whole situation was gonna happen because the writing was literally on the wall, and everyone else is surprised by how brutal, and just how bloody this has become. There’s literal so much history that painted this picture for the rest of the world in this particular region, and yet everyone and their mother seems surprised it’s like this.

[Yanquetino]

Good for her! 👏 Yes, the USA has supported Israel for many years, but we now need to side with the United Nations' resolve to END this genocide.

[Jojojojoxyz]

Thank you for promoting a cease fire and two state solution. We need to see this done...the children are starving to death.

[mrh]

Imagine saying Israel has the right to exist or defend itself when how it existed and ‘defended’ itself was by brutal killing and occupation for the past 80 years..

If "Israel" is an example of a Democracy, then I want nothing to do with Democracy.
