“Let me be clear: I will always defend Israel’s right to defend itself, and I will always ensure that Israel has the ability to do so,” Harris said in her acceptance speech for the Democratic presidential nomination at the party’s convention in Chicago.
The vice president said the people of Israel should not be confronted again with the “horror” inflicted by the Palestinian group Hamas with its attack on October 7, and reaffirmed that she and US President Joe Biden are working tirelessly to free the hostages captured that day and achieve a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
Despite his support for Israel, Harris also spoke candidly about the suffering caused by the 10-month war in Gaza, which has claimed more than 40,000 lives in the Palestinian enclave.
“At the same time, what has happened in Gaza over the past 10 months is devastating. So many innocent lives have been lost. Desperate and hungry people are fleeing again and again in search of safety. The scale of the suffering is heartbreaking,” he added.
