Vice President Harris Criticizes Israel's Actions in Gaza, Stops Short of War Crimes Accusation

Vice President Kamala Harris recently urged Israel to do more to protect civilian lives in its military response to the October 7 attacks by Hamas. While she did not explicitly accuse Israel of committing war crimes, Harris emphasized that the United States is unequivocal in insisting on the respect of international humanitarian law. Harris's remarks were delivered in Dubai, where she addressed the devastating impact of the conflict that resulted in about 1,200 casualties, including 33 Americans, and the abduction of 240 others taken to Gaza.
