In her first week as the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris will confront the most politically divisive issue in U.S. foreign policy as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel pays an official visit to Washington. Mr. Netanyahu's trip throws a spotlight on the views of Ms. Harris...
Ms. Harris garnered widespread attention for calling for an immediate cease-fire and assailing Israel for creating a humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza. Ms. Harris will meet privately with the Israeli leader at the White House...
President Biden, who will meet with Mr. Netanyahu on Thursday, has seen his popularity dive among progressive Democratic voters... Democrats hope that Ms. Harris will be largely free of that stigma and can win back those liberals who have said they could never vote for Mr. Biden because of his Israel policies...
Although Ms. Harris has been seen as more sharply critical of the war in Gaza than Mr. Biden has been, she is not expected to express views to Mr. Netanyahu in their meeting that differ from current policy.
