Vice President Kamala Harris addressed the press following a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building in the White House complex.

Harris began by sharing a personal anecdote from her childhood, recalling how she planted trees to support Israel's "right to defend itself." She emphasized the complexity of the ongoing conflict in Gaza, urging Americans to understand that it is not a binary issue. “Let us all condemn terrorism and violence,” she stated. “And let us condemn antisemitism, Islamophobia and hate of any kind.”

Reflecting on her recent discussions with Prime Minister Netanyahu, Harris said, “I just had a frank and constructive meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu. I told him that I will always ensure that Israel is able to defend itself, including from Iran and Iran-backed militias such as Hamas and Hezbollah.”

“I’ve had an unwavering commitment to the existence of the State of Israel, to its security, and to the people of Israel,” she said.

You cared a lot when you were blaming Palestinians for being victims of israeli Apartheid two comments ago.

I blame Palestinians for allowing Hamas to come to power and rule by terror. What do you think is going to happen if they are recognized as a nation state? You'd probably have the same situation you have now. The only people doing anything about Hamas is Israel. If Palestinians took care of their own problems (something thats necessary as a sovereign nation) none of this would have happened. Arafat should have taken the deal that was offered to him in 2000.

I don't blame myself for Trump, and I don't blame the Palestinian people for Hamas. We don't always get to pick who is in power or control their actions once they get there.

Let's be compassionate.

I mostly agree, but you can only let it get so bad. Let's make sure Trump's term was an abberation.

To be clear, I think what's happening in Gaza is outrageous, it's just not an easy situation. Too much religion not enough humanity.

Arafat took the deal. Netanyahu's party assasinated Rabin. Your comment makes no sense.

What's your excuse for israel ethnically cleansing the West Bank by the way?

Arafat rejected Barak's offer and refused to make an immediate counter-offer.[100] He told President Clinton that, "the Arab leader who would surrender Jerusalem is not born yet."[114]
