United States Vice President and the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Kamala Harris, has called for a ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian militant group, Hamas.
Harris said she raised “serious concerns” with Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu in discussions at the White House on Thursday.
In a press chat after the meeting, the VP revealed that she urged Netanyahu for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and the release of Palestinian hostages.
She also lamented over the “dire humanitarian situation” in Gaza.
“What has happened in Gaza over the past nine months is devastating. The images of dead children and desperate, hungry people fleeing for safety, sometimes homes displaced for the second, third or fourth time… We cannot look away in the face of these tragedies. We cannot allow ourselves to become numb to the suffering. And I will not be silent,” she said.
“Let’s get the deal done so we can get a cease-fire to end the war. Let’s bring the hostages home, and let’s provide much needed relief to the Palestinian people.”
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu was in the U.S. for a meeting with President Joe Biden, who is pressing for a ceasefire and hostage release deal to be signed off by Israel and Hamas.
The Israel-Hamas war began on October 7 after the terrorist group launched an attack on the Jewish state.
