Vice President Harris to Push Israel to End Gaza War
(Politico) Eugene Daniels - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet President Biden and Vice President Harris on Thursday and former President Trump on Friday. In her meeting with Netanyahu, Harris plans to reiterate her commitment to Israel's security and right to defend itself but will also "convey her view that it is time for the war to end in a way where Israel is secure, all hostages are released, the suffering of Palestinian civilians in Gaza ends, and the Palestinian people can enjoy their right to dignity, freedom, and self-determination," a Harris aide said. There's been some daylight between Harris and President Joe Biden on the issue of Israel and Gaza for months. One person close to the vice president's office said she believes the U.S. should be "tougher" on Netanyahu. She has called for being "more forceful at seeking a long-term peace and two-state solution," this person said.
