California Sen. Kamala Harris, the Democratic party’s vice presidential pick for the 2020 elections, said Wednesday that a Joe Biden administration would not place new conditions on future US military assistance to Israel.

The statement is the latest sign the Biden campaign is still seeking to distance itself from unprecedented criticism of Israel’s policies emanating from the Democratic party’s left wing in recent years.
