Democratic presidential contender strikes tough tone in public remarks following meeting with Israeli prime minister on US visit
on the “dire” humanitarian situation in Gaza in talks that she described as frank, adding “I will not be silent.”
Harris’ forceful remarks on Thursday, which were sharp and serious in tone, reflected what might mark a departure from Biden in how she deals with Netanyahu. Some noted the significance of Harris being the one to give public remarks after both she and Biden had separately met the prime minister. White House officials say Israel and Hamas are “closer now than we’ve been before” to reaching a ceasefire deal, with a senior administration official saying a framework for the deal had been agreed upon but that “serious implementation issues … still had to be resolved. “I don’t expect the meeting to be a yes or no,” the official said. “It’s a kind of like: ‘How do we close these final gaps?’”
