The Former Mayor of Shiloh discusses Harris’ words, and what it means for the United States/Israel relationship moving forward.
As if President Joe Biden’s disdain for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wasn’t enough, Vice President Kamala Harris has also sounded off on the matter.
Speaking with ABC News, Harris noted that “consequences” could follow if Israel moves forward with a planned invasion of Rafah in Gaza.
Netanyahu previously noted that said invasion is the only way to completely eliminate the forces of Hamas, but Harris believes that “any major military operation in Rafah would be a huge mistake.” She also noted how she “studied the maps” and that there is “nowhere for those folks to go” (referring to the Palestinians that live in Rafah).
When asked about said consequences, Harris noted, “We’re going to take it one step at a time, but we’ve been very clear in terms of our perspective on whether or not (an invasion) should happen.” And she refused to rule out consequences from the United States itself.
While Netanyahu is still pressing forward with invasion plans, he will be sending a “high-level delegation” to meet with White House officials in an effort to try to get everyone on the same page.
So what happens now? Joining us now to discuss his actions is David Rubin, the former Mayor of Shiloh Israel, to discuss the matter further. Welcome, David!
Q&A:
- Why are Biden and Harris so determined in telling Netanyahu he’s making a mistake with his strike on Rafah? Are they worried about the “people” or is it something else?
- Did Harris make a mistake indicating that “consequences” could potentially come from the United States if an invasion of Rafah does take place?
- Do you believe Netanyahu is making the right decision with his planned invasion? Is this truly the only way to stop Hamas?
- Netanyahu is sending some delegates to speak to White House officials about the matter. But do you think any headway will be made, or is it too late at this point?
- Where do you see the Israel/Hamas conflict going in the months ahead?
- Could Biden’s comments about Netanyahu cost him precious votes when it comes to his re-election later this year?
- Where can we learn more about the Shiloh Israel Children’s Fund, as well as what else you’re working on?
