Harris calls for cease-fire and hostage release, after Netanyahu meeting

Vice President Harris implored Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday to accept a cease-fire deal that would pause the fighting in Gaza and release hostages, as U.S. leaders say they are closer than ever to an agreement.

Vice President Harris implored Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday to accept a cease-fire deal that would pause the fighting in Gaza and release hostages, as U.S. leaders say they are closer than ever to an agreement.

“Let’s get the deal done so we can get a cease-fire to end the war,” she told reporters in brief remarks after her bilateral meeting with Netanyahu at the White House. “Let’s bring the hostages home, and let’s provide much-needed relief to the Palestinian people.”

Harris’s decision to give her full backing for the deal and explain its general outline appeared designed to add pressure on Israel and Hamas to close the remaining gaps in reaching an agreement to at least temporarily end more than nine months of conflict.

That it was the vice president, not President Biden, giving public remarks after they each held bilateral meetings with the Israeli leader reflected how much has changed in Washington in recent days. Biden announced Sunday he was exiting the presidential race; by Tuesday, Harris had become the likely Democratic nominee.

In her remarks, Harris reiterated that she remains a firm backer of Israel, reflecting on collecting money to plant trees in Israel as a young girl, while also expressing serious concern about some of Israel’s conduct in its unrelenting military campaign in Gaza.

He appears to be an Army captain (Navy Lieutenant). I am uncertain of the lapel insignias. In the Navy, a caduceus with two acorns (nuts) is a physician, with one nut is a dentist, and with no nuts is a medical service corps officer. He appears to have no nuts.

And just like that, no one pretended Joe Biden was President any more.

New nickname for her - "Hamas Harris". Maybe DJT will pick up on that.

What does she get to call for anything? She’s not the president, officially!

Wow! Talk about thinking outside the box. Was she/it at a Detroit Kindergarten when she made her “thoughts” known?

Yikes.

“The elusive doctor has never given an interview or press conference since Biden took office in January 2021, or even before that, and rarely makes statements.”

(Gee I can’t imagine why.)

“When confronted by the New York Post on Thursday and asked if he was Biden’s doctor, he initially replied ‘I don’t know. I don’t know’ before confirming he was.”

(Dementia is apparently contagious.)

“But no call for a ceasefire in Ukraine, you’ll note.

Golly gee, wonder why.”

Because Russia is the illegal invader of Ukraine. Once Russia has been driven as far back as Hamas has in Gaza, it might be time to start encouraging them to start winding things down.

What does President Biden have to say or was he too tired to meet with Bibi?

Why do we GAF what this mattress-backed slattern says?

What if, I mean, What if Netanyahu agrees? Can Kamala do what Joe could not?

You watch too much American Gaslight Media.

And read too much of The Daily Mail.

...are the words of an idiot. A cease fire now merely prolongs the real war, and guarantees as bad or worse in a few years.

Please forgive me, but I can't figure out who, or what, is the "MIC?"
