Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris has found herself in the spotlight for her volatile statements on the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. At election rallies in different states, she spoke ambiguously, changing emphasis depending on the audience.
Speaking in Michigan, a state with a large Arab voter base, Harris expressed support for Palestinians’ right to statehood and condemned the “suffering in the Gaza Strip”: “I cannot remain indifferent to the suffering of Palestinians,” she said, vowing to work to end the conflict and improve conditions for the Palestinians.
At the same time, at a rally in Pennsylvania, where Jewish communities are strong, Harris voiced the opposite position, emphasizing her support for Israel. “I will always defend Israel’s right to self-defense,” she said, adding that Israel must remain protected from threats from terrorist organizations.
In other meetings, Harris tried to take a more balanced position, saying her goal was to end the war while ensuring security for Israel and the Palestinians’ right to freedom and dignity. She noted that she and President Biden are committed to a world in which suffering in the Middle East ends and both sides can exist in security and peace.
Such statements raise questions about what policies Harris intends to pursue if she wins the election, and leave American voters with a dilemma over whether the candidate will truly stick to one line on such a sensitive issue in the United States.
