VP Calls For ‘Immediate Cease-Fire’ In Gaza

Vice President Kamala Harris has decided to call Israel out for not capitulating to demands for a “cease-fire” in Gaza amid Israel’s efforts to eliminate Hamas terrorists from the region.

The vice president’s speech came on Sunday in Selma, Alabama, on the 59th anniversary of “Bloody Sunday” — where police officers assaulted civil rights demonstrators.

While speaking about the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, Harris did acknowledge that Israel has the right to self-defense but spent the majority of her speech condemning Israel for not agreeing to an “immediate cease-fire” that Hamas likely has no intentions of abiding by — the group has broken cease-fires in the past.

Harris discussed the “humanitarian crisis in Gaza” throughout her speech, according to official White House transcripts. The crowd applauded every time she decried the treatment of the Palestinian people — ignoring the fact that Israel has repeatedly taken every effort to avoid as many civilian casualties as possible, while Hamas terrorists that were elected by the Palestinian people to control the government of Gaza specifically targeted civilians and tourists during the Oct. 7 massacre.

“The threat [that] Hamas poses to the people of Israel must be eliminated. And given the immense scale of suffering in Gaza, there must be an immediate cease-fire for at least the next six weeks, which is what is currently on the table,” Harris said, prompting applause as soon as she uttered the word “cease-fire.”

“Hamas claims it wants a cease-fire. Well, there is a deal on the table. And as we have said, Hamas needs to agree to that deal. Let’s get a cease-fire. Let’s reunite the hostages with their families. And let’s provide immediate relief to the people of Gaza,” she added.

Meanwhile, Israel has already reportedly agreed to the framework for the temporary cease-fire, so Harris’ comments were clearly misdirected — as Hamas are the ones who have not yet responded to the framework publicly. This deal would lead to the release of at least “some of the 130 people still being held captive in Gaza,” according to Just The News. The deal would also allow for increased humanitarian aid to Palestinians, which will more than likely be redirected to or stolen by Hamas terrorists just like what has happened with past humanitarian aid.
