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.

Smiling as (Biden’s doctor) said ‘It’s excellent’ when asked how Biden’s health was, he then added that he would ‘probably not’ brief the press about it.

Confirming that Biden was forced out of the race for losing.

Cease fire as more and more DEAD hostages are recovered?

Not a chance in a sane Israel.

Those who are pushing her ceasefires in Israel and in Ukraine are totally disrespecting the victims of those 2 wars.

Israel can sign a cease-fire deal as soon as all hostages have been released and Hamas is forced to cease all political control over the Palestinians.
The world must also force RUSSIA to stop being a close ally to HAMAS and IRAN, without that, peace between Israel and Hamas is impossible.

Ukraine can sign a cease-fire deal as soon as the Russian invaders are giving back the Ukrainian territories they have stolen and once they pay war damages, and help the victims of all the rape and torture they have committed in many Ukrainian villages.

Unconstitutional "president Harris" is actually a deep state puppet put in place with Biden by a "Successful Coup"

definition of "successful coup" is when the people of the nation taken over are not aware it was a coup,( causing no opposition) typically by stealing cheating on an election, and/or by forcing out the established government under duress

the "Deep State" International Military Industrial Complex arms dealers in the EU and US and even in Israel probably hired Hamas and payed for it with Obama's money drop. Motive would be to contribute to the endless war machine, since Bidens Ukraine terrorist hire isn't working out as they hoped, they can use Israel as the latest arms dump

call me crazy , but after 2020 I believe anything is possible now, the more unbelievable a conspiracy scenario is the more plausible it seems to me
