Kamala Harris on whether Israel committed genocide: ‘We should all step back and ask this question’ - Jewish Telegraphic Agency

Kamala Harris on Israel and Gaza

Former Vice President Kamala Harris was asked about Israel's actions in Gaza during an interview on MSNBC's "The Weekend".

Correspondent Eugene Daniels asked: "A lot of folks in your party have called what's happening in Gaza a genocide. Do you agree with that?"

"Listen, it is a term of law that a court will decide," Harris responded. "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."

Harris has faced pro-Palestinian protesters throughout her current book tour.

Several lawmakers, including Vermont's Jewish Sen. Bernie Sanders and far-right Georgia Republican Rep., have also weighed in on the issue.
