Kamala Harris signalled a major shift in Gaza policy on Thursday as she urged Benjamin Netanyahu to finalise a peace deal, telling him she had “serious concern” over casualties.

Ms Harris hosted the Israeli prime minister at the White House for a meeting that was closely watched for signs of how she might change American policy on Israel if she becomes president.

Welcoming Mr Netanyahu to her ceremonial office in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, the vice president said they had a “frank and constructive meeting”.

Ms Harris said she reiterated her “unwavering commitment” to the US ally’s security, but she also made her concerns about Gaza’s dire humanitarian situation clear.

“We cannot look away in the face of these tragedies. We cannot allow ourselves to become numb to the suffering and I will not be silent,” Ms Harris said.

She called for a deal to release the hostages kidnapped during Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel that launched the war.

    During election runs , politicians need to talk what voters wants to hear as its easier to fool people than to convince them.

    I'm sure that she was given several carefully scripted things to say and Netanyahu will ignore her anyway.
  • This woman cannot give this simple statement without looking at her notes every second??…if she truly had these conversations with the prime minister surely she would know these points by heart
