Vice President Kamala Harris said Wednesday she supports the Biden-Harris administration's threats to Israel over humanitarian conditions for Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, but denied threatening an arms embargo. .
As Breitbart News reported, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin threatened to amputate the weapons in a letter to Israeli officials earlier this week. The letter was leaked and the Biden-Harris administration acknowledged the threat. This sparked a backlash, with former Israeli Ambassador to the United States Michael Oren saying the administration's threats “call into question America's credibility as an ally and our commitment to defending the free world.” .
Nevertheless, in comments she made to journalists on Wednesday, Harris said: reported Times of Israel: “When asked by reporters about the Biden administration's letter to Israel that conditioned continued U.S. military aid to Jerusalem to deal with the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Vice President Kamala Harris said the letter was He said it says it all.”
However, in an exchange with reporters, Harris denied that the letter threatened an arms embargo.
Harris previously said she was open to discussing an arms embargo, but her campaign later walked back on that.
