Kamala Harris has announced a significant shift in US policy towards Gaza, urging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to finalize a peace deal and vowing to address the ongoing humanitarian crisis.
Breaking from outgoing President Joe Biden's discreet approach, Harris declared the need to end the 'devastating' nine-month conflict after meeting with Netanyahu.
Highlighting the tragic consequences, including the deaths of children and widespread displacement, she emphasized the urgency of mitigating the humanitarian disaster.
Harris also pressed for a Palestinian state and a ceasefire following Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel, which killed 1,197 people and led to 251 hostages.
In retaliation, Israeli actions have resulted in at least 39,175 Palestinian deaths.
Harris's statements mark a clear departure from Biden’s stance, though the White House insists there are no significant policy differences between them.
