Jill Stein eyes Palestinian-American running mate for Green Party bid
Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein is reportedly considering Palestinian-Americans as potential running mates for her 2024 campaign.
According to NBC, Stein has had multiple discussions with candidates about the vice-presidential position.
Among the candidates is Noura Erakat, a noted human rights lawyer and Rutgers University professor, who confirmed on social media that Stein’s team approached her.
She says she is seriously considering the offer.
Stein, a vocal critic of Israel’s war on Gaza, is expected to announce her running mate next Friday.
This move highlights her strong stance on the war, which has killed approximately 40,000 Palestinians and injured over 90,000.
Israel has been accused of genocide for its war on Gaza at the International Court of Justice.
