Former Israeli ambassador to the U.S. Michael Oren called for "unequivocal" clarification from the White House after Vice President Kamala Harris appeared to accuse Israel of committing genocide in the Gaza Strip.
(Oct. 20, 2024 / JNS) Former Israeli ambassador to the United States Michael Oren on Sunday called for the White House to state unequivocally that Jerusalem is not committing genocide in Gaza, after Vice President Kamala Harris appeared to equivocate on the issue.
The Democratic nominee for president appeared to suggest at a campaign event in Milwaukee that the Jewish state was committing genocide, in an incident involving an anti-Israel heckler.
“I felt deep shock when I watched the video in which Vice President Kamala Harris endorsed a serious accusation that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza,” Oren tweeted.
