Harris says she ‘will not be silent’ on Gaza suffering while telling Netanyahu to get ceasefire deal done

CNN  

CNN — Vice President Kamala Harris vowed to “not be silent” about suffering in Gaza amid the Israel-Hamas war, saying she expressed her “serious concern” to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Thursday while telling him it is time to lock down a ceasefire deal. Recalling the details of the proposed US-backed ceasefire and hostage deal, Harris said that “it is time for this war to end and end in a way where Israel is secure, all the hostages are released, the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza ends, and the Palestinian people can exercise their right to freedom, dignity and self-determination.” The vice president said there has been “hopeful movement” in the talks and that she pushed the prime minister to bring the conflict to a close. “Do not fall into this trap!” The Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir wrote on X Friday, “The war won’t be ceased, Madame candidate.” Following Harris’ remarks, Israeli media have been quoting a “senior Israeli official” as saying that pressure from the US vice president to reach a ceasefire and hostages deal in Gaza is counter-productive and may put at risk efforts to reach an agreement. Dekel-Chen could not provide many details about what Biden and Netanyahu spoke about with the families of hostages, but told CNN’s Erin Burnett that both leaders offered “a promise” that they “completely understand the urgency of this moment.” The Israel Defense Forces said on Thursday it had recovered the bodies of five hostages from southern Gaza on Wednesday, adding the bodies had been held in a tunnel in an area previously designated as a “humanitarian area” by the IDF.
