Vice President Kamala Harris adamantly called for a ceasefire in the war in Gaza following her meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday.
Harris told reporters after her meeting in Washington, D.C., that she told the Israeli leader that “it is time” to reach an end to the war and bring those kidnapped during Hamas‘ October 7 attack on Israel home. Her comments follow just four days into her freshly launched presidential campaign.
“I’ve said it many times, but it bears repeating,” Harris said. “Israel has a right to defend itself, and how it does so matters.”
