A top aide to Vice President Harris said Thursday that the Democratic presidential nominee does not support an arms embargo on Israel, after the Uncommitted National Movement suggested she was open to discussing a total ban on weapons deliveries from the U.S.
Leaders of the Uncommitted National Movement, born out of opposition toward President Biden’s policy toward Israel, said Harris showed an openness to a meeting to discuss an arms embargo on Israel following a brief exchange with the group’s founders during her Wednesday campaign rally in Detroit.
However, Phil Gordon, Harris’s national security adviser, reiterated her opposition to an arms embargo in a Thursday post on the social platform X.
“@VP has been clear: she will always ensure Israel is able to defend itself against Iran and Iran-backed terrorist groups. She does not support an arms embargo on Israel. She will continue to work to protect civilians in Gaza and to uphold international humanitarian law,” he wrote.
Diplomacy is WAY harder than you’re making it out to be. She can’t just say “F Israel” and pull out unilaterally. You have no idea how complicated this all is
Literally just stop sending bombs to israel and the Genocide ends. They had ran out of ammo months ago if Genocide Joe didn’t keep resupplying them.
This is like saying it would be complicated to not send arms to the Nazis if they were a “strategic partner against the Russians” in WW2
It’s weird to pretend that the other guy wouldn’t have an even worse policy.
The situation in Gaza is shitty, but making it a primary election issue without looking at the alternative is asinine.
