Harris indicates she won’t be discussing Israel arms embargo with progressive supporters

After a pair of far-left activists from the Uncommitted movement declared that US Vice President Kamala Harris had shown openness to meet with them to discuss an Israel arms embargo, Harris’s campaign issues a statement indicating that she won’t be doing so.

“Since October 7, the vice president has prioritized engaging with Arab, Muslim, and Palestinian community members and others regarding the war in Gaza,” says a statement from Harris’s campaign.

“In this brief engagement, she reaffirmed that her campaign will continue to engage with those communities.”

The vice president has been clear: she will always work to ensure Israel is able to defend itself against Iran and Iran-backed terrorist groups. The Vice President is focused on securing the ceasefire and hostage deal currently on the table.”

“As she has said, it is time for this war to end in a way where: Israel is secure, hostages are released, the suffering of Palestinian civilians ends, and the Palestinian people can realize their right to dignity, freedom, and self-determination.”
