You have a politically and 10 policy antenna. I’ve been listening device president Harris this week, speak about Israel and, what’s going on with the war with Hamas, you’ve been listening as well, do believe. There is any daylight between her position in articulation of the policy on Israel versus president violence.
I, don’t know what what I think about vice president Harris’s approach here is that all the elements of President Biden, s approach are there. She supports them. She’s been part of that, so Israel’s right to self defense, the fact that how the war is conducted matters how mosque and have have no control or governance after this war. No more October, seventh, but also, very importantly, that the Palestinian Authority has to be the nucleus of governance in a postwar Gaza. They are lots of flaws. They need lots of help to reform the also need resources. Very importantly— and you mention this with the congressman- mccall a path, although he left out this park, a path to waste two state solution to assure that the great majority, the Palestinian people who have nothing to do with Hamas, can have some light at the end of the tunnel. We need equal, security, equal dignity, equal rights to self determination for Israelis and pounds to his like and the present his couple that with what you did talk about, which was a normalization agreement with Saudi Arabia, which would be very good for the security interests Israel and she, of course, will remain. President Biden vice president for the rest of the term, but she’s also now the presumptive democratic nominee one hundred days between now in the election. Would you council her in.
Any way to separate or differentiate herself, or at least define herself on the Israel issue on her own terms quickly or just to keep going along, as is well. So I believe the elements of her policy are are the same, but the question is how we succeed in achieving that else.
Most of the pulse, the I have been critical of the vita ministration at times for not using all the levers of influence we have to achieve President Biden, the stated goals, including what a war in Gaza looks like. So I was pleased that, after her meeting with prime minister Netanyahu, the vice president made it made a statement, a public statement, not a written statement, and she did it with clarity
