While Harris' positions have largely mirrored Biden's for years, her rhetoric on Israel is coming under increasing scrutiny.
Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris is facing awkward questions from critics after the bodies of the six Israeli hostages were recovered overnight Sunday from a tunnel in the southern Gaza city of Rafah.When Israel was looking to invade Rafah earlier this year, saying it was a stronghold of Hamas militants and a haven for hostage takers, it encountered fierce opposition in the White House.
'And let me be clear, I will always stand up for Israel's right to defend itself and I will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself,' Harris said at the DNC. 'Because the people of Israel must never again face the horror that a terrorist organization called Hamas caused on October 7.'Harris also addressed the issue of the ongoing war in Gaza.
