Kamala Harris aides reject Israel arms embargo, refuting 'Uncommitted' activists
Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris' team has publicly disavowed suggestions that she is open to an arms embargo on Israel, a day after progressive activists described an "openness" from the vice president to discuss regulating military aid to Israel.
In a statement from Harris' campaign, the US vice president said that she "has been clear: she will always work to ensure Israel is able to defend itself against Iran and Iran-backed terrorist groups".
On Thursday morning, Phil Gordon, Harris' national security advisor in her capacity as vice president, issued an additional clarification, writing on social media platform X that Harris "does not support an arms embargo on Israel".
