Kamala Harris on Israel's Actions in Gaza
Former Vice President Kamala Harris has faced protests from pro-Palestinian groups during her book tour.
During an interview on MSNBC's "The Weekend," correspondent Eugene Daniels asked Harris if she agreed that Israel's actions in Gaza constituted "genocide."
"A lot of folks in your party have called what's happening in Gaza a genocide. Do you agree with that?"
Harris responded by stating that the term "genocide" is a legal term that should be decided by a court.
"Listen, it is a term of law that a court will decide. But I will tell you that when you look at the number of children that have been killed, the number of innocent civilians that have been killed, the refusal to give aid and support, we should all step back and ask this question and be honest about it, yeah."
Several lawmakers, including Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, have also commented on the issue.
- Senator Bernie Sanders, an independent from Vermont, has spoken out on the matter.
- Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican from Georgia, has also made statements regarding Israel's actions in Gaza.
