Vice President Kamala Harris has emerged as the likely Democratic nominee for president following President Joe Biden’s decision on Sunday to drop out of the race and endorse her.
Harris is seen by some observers as more critical of Israel than Biden, with similar views on Iran and other policy issues in the region.
Israel-Palestine
Harris has been vocal on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict during her tenure as vice president. She addressed the Gaza war in a widely covered March speech in the southern state of Alabama, deploring the conditions in the Palestinian territory and saying “too many innocent Palestinians have been killed.”
