"Harris, forced to confront Israel's war in Gaza on the first night of her book tour, expressed compassion for the Palestinians and condemned President Donald Trump for giving the Israeli government "a blank check." "What's happening to the Palestinian people is outrageous and it beaks my heart," she told a packed New York City performance center on Wednesday night after being interrupted by the first of four pro-Palestinian protesters. "Donald Trump has given (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu a blank check to do whatever he wants.""
"The comments came in the midst of a discussion about her new book, "107 Days," which was released on Tuesday and details the hyperspeed campaign she launched against Trump after Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race. Harris was initially scheduled to make one appearance at the 1,500-person capacity Times Square performance center, but her team added a second show earlier in the evening because of high interest."
Former Vice President Kamala Harris confronted Israel's war in Gaza during the first night of her book tour, expressing compassion for Palestinians and criticizing President Donald Trump for giving Israeli leaders a "blank check." She said the situation for Palestinian people is outrageous and heartbreaking, and she recounted being interrupted by pro-Palestinian protesters at a packed New York performance center. Her book, "107 Days," details the rapid campaign she launched against Trump after Joe Biden withdrew from the 2024 race. The war has deeply divided the nation and Democrats, with Gaza's Health Ministry reporting more than 65,000 Palestinian deaths. Harris also voiced support for New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, praising his inclusion of previously left-out voices.
