Where Gov. Tim Walz stands on Israel, Gaza, and pro-Palestinian protests
Vice President Kamala Harris has chosen Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota as her running mate.
In an election that's been rocked by the war in Gaza and a swelling pro-Palestinian protest movement, Walz seems to offer something for everyone.
Like most other Democrats, Walz has long been a supporter of Israel. When he served in the House from 2007-2019, he frequently took pro-Israel votes, including voting to condemn a United Nations resolution affirming that Israeli settlements in the West Bank are illegal. 108 other House Democrats voted for it, while 76 voted against it. He has also met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Mark Mellman, the chairman of Democratic Majority for Israel's super PAC, praised Harris' selection of Walz in a statement, calling him a "proud pro-Israel Democrat with a strong record of supporting the U.S.-Israel relationship."
