"Look, we should've done more as an administration, Harris said. We should've done more. That comment led to applause from the audience. We should've spoken publicly about our criticism of the way that Netanyahu and his government were executing this war, Harris continued. More applause followed. She then added, We had more levers, in terms of leverage, that we did not use on Israel apparently to get it to wrap up the war quicker."
"The Jewish News Syndicate reported anti-Israel protestors repeatedly interrupted Harris during her Seattle event. JNS observed demonstrators both inside and outside the event. Some donned keffiyehs and waved Palestinian flags, chanting, Kamala, you can't hide, you profit from genocide,' the outlet reported. Video of the event was posted to Native Land's YouTube account on Monday. Her comments were made less than a month after President Donald Trump brokered a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas."
Kamala Harris acknowledged that the Biden administration should have done more in response to the Gaza war, including publicly criticizing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and using additional levers to pressure Israel to end the fighting sooner. A Seattle event promoting her book was repeatedly interrupted by anti-Israel protestors who chanted, wore keffiyehs, and waved Palestinian flags. Harris praised protest activism, saying she would not exist without people active in protesting injustice. Her comments followed a ceasefire brokered by President Donald Trump that ended Israel's military operation in Gaza and led to the release of several hostages.
