The Facts

  • After US Vice Pres. Kamal Harris, who is now running for president after Pres. Joe Biden withdrew from the race, said that she would not be "silent" on the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza, Israel responded that her comments could complicate cease-fire negotiations.

  • Harris met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday, saying afterward that it was time to end the war. Harris reiterated many of the concerns she and Biden have made throughout the war.
