Vice President Kamala Harris said she won’t stop pressuring Israel to end its military campaign in the Middle East, emphasizing that the US still has a critical role in the region as the conflict reaches the one-year mark.
“The work that we do diplomatically with the leadership of Israel is an ongoing pursuit around making clear our principles, which include the need for humanitarian aid, the need for this war to end, the need for a deal to be done, which would release the hostages and create a cease-fire,” Harris said in an excerpt from an interview on CBS’s 60 Minutes.
