Harris faces backlash over not supporting arms embargo to Israel
In her acceptance speech for the Democratic Party’s 2024 nomination, Vice President Kamala Harris called for a cease-fire in Gaza amid Israel’s ongoing war.
However, she is facing criticism for not endorsing a halt to U.S. weapons transfers to Israel, which critics argue is essential to securing peace.
Despite expressing concern over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Harris reiterated the administration’s commitment to Israel’s right to defend itself without condemning its actions directly.
Palestinian rights groups and political analysts have accused Harris of lacking the courage to diverge from current U.S. policy, which they say fuels the war.
Human rights organizations and U.S. voters seeking a change are calling for a more decisive stance, including an arms embargo on Israel
Lawmaker Ilhan Omar said for a cease-fire in Gaza, the U.S. needs to stop sending weapons to Israel.
Harris’ stance, critics argue, falls short of the bold leadership needed to address the dire situation in Palestine.
