Vice President Kamala Harris will meet with Israeli PM Netanyahu on Thursday after months previewing how she would handle Israel relations if elected in 2024.
Vice President Kamala Harris’ “weak condemnation” of Wednesday’s anti-Israel protests, absence from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s congressional address and sympathetic rhetoric regarding Gaza shows the presumptive Democrat presidential nominee will be a “far worse” partner for Israel than President Joe Biden, a GOP Jewish advocacy group claims.
“If you thought Joe Biden was bad on issues of top concern for pro-Israel voters, Kamala Harris is far worse”, Sam Markstein, Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) national political director, told Fox News Digital in a statement.
“It took her a full day to issue a weak condemnation of the pro-Hamas mobs that burned American flags and chanted vile antisemitic slogans at Jews in Washington, D.C. – with zero mention of any concrete action she would take to hold them accountable. It should be easy to condemn antisemitism – the real question is what she will do to confront it, and her statement speaks for itself”, Markstein added. “Clearly, her priorities are not our priorities – and if elected, we can expect more of the same.”
Netanyahu’s U.S. visit comes at a critical moment in Harris’ campaign, as she works to replace Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket and make her case to voters just four months before Election Day.
