Vice President Kamala Harris doesn’t support halting arms shipments to Israel as a way to pressure Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s administration over the war in Gaza, a top aide to the Democratic presidential challenger said on Thursday.
“She does not support an arms embargo on Israel,” Philip Gordon, Harris’ national security advisor, wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “She will continue to work to protect civilians in Gaza and to uphold international humanitarian law.”
