Vice President Harris celebrated the rescue of four Israeli hostages in Gaza on Saturday, going on to mourn the deaths of Palestinians in the operation.
Vice President Harris mourned the Palestinians who were killed in a successful Israeli hostage rescue operation this weekend during an address delivered Saturday.
The Israeli operation retrieved four hostages who were taken into Gaza by Hamas on Oct. 7. Harris, speaking before the Michigan Democratic Party, celebrated their retrieval but spent more time lamenting the deaths of Palestinians killed in the operation, many of whom Israel has described as terrorists.
“Before I begin, I just say a few words about the morning which I know weighs heavily on all of our hearts,” she said.
“On Oct. 7, Hamas committed a brutal massacre of 1,200 innocent people and abducted 250 hostages,” she continued.
