During a visit to London, US Vice President Kamala Harris is asked by reporters if the administration should condition military aid for Israel on reduced civilian casualties in Gaza amid the war against Hamas.
“We are going to continue to stand with Israel’s right to defend itself,” says Harris. “And let’s be clear and never forget what happened on October 7th, where hundreds, thousands of — 1,400 innocent people were killed, slaughtered — young people who were simply attending a concert.”
“And so, we are not going to create any conditions on the support that we are giving Israel to defend itself,” she adds.
She also laments the deaths of civilians in Gaza, while stressing, “We are not telling Israel how it should conduct this war.”
