Harris’s words could harm hostage deal talks, senior Israeli official says [First foreign policy disaster of new candidate]
THE JERUSALEM POST ^ | July 26, 2024 | TOVAH LAZAROFF

Vice President Kamala Harris may have made it more difficult to close a hostage deal, a startled senior Israeli official said after hearing the remarks she issued to the press late Thursday afternoon.

“We hope that it won’t make it harder to achieve a hostage deal because it gives the appearance of day light between Israel and the United States,” the official said.

Harris surprised Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and those close to him by issuing her statement, which she also placed on X shortly after her hour-long meeting with him.

Off on the wrong foot. The media needs to hold her accountable. The Trump team needs to play this up. Cannot entrust America’s alliances to Kamala.

“The media needs to hold her accountable.”

With all due respect my friend, you know better than that. The media is running interference for this twit and will continue.....the same media that said she WAS the border czar are now saying she was never the border czar.

She should go to Gaza herself and see what is going on.

They won’t but Trump will be all in for Israel later today. Israel seems to be on the verge of outright winning. Not sure the ceasefire discussion is very useful right now.

Excerpt....

Harris, however, in her statement made it appear as if the deal would definitely include a complete IDF withdrawal from Gaza in phase 2, a step that has not been agreed upon. In a de-facto way, she gave Hamas a pledge of a permanent ceasefire before the deal got underway.

Israeli officials were also frustrated by Harris’s characterization of the food insecurity in Gaza, explaining that Netanyahu had also emphasized to Harris how many steps Israel was taking to provide humanitarian assistance to Palestinians in Gaza.

Dems never make mistakes, we just didn’t hear it right or are not intelligent enough to understand the brilliance ...

“We hope that it won’t make it harder to achieve a hostage deal..”

Maybe that was the idea?

That doesn’t seem like the right position for “Heels Up”

She needs to have the Hamas leaders over for a photo op. They’re the ones to talk to if you want the hostages released. Have your burka ready, Kammy.

Harris only met with Bibi because he will be meeting with Trump . Her snub of his speech was step one, this meeting was to message Michigan through the nuance of the discussion that she is not a supporter without coming out saying it.

The Dems are using the Clinton approach of depends on what the meaning of is......

So her play for votes in Dearborn, Mi might cost some people their lives. Good luck finding a MSM outlet reporting this.

Easy enough to say Harris was never the Border Czar after sufficient time has passed & she never actually acted in that manner anyway. But...I’ve been around long enough to recall what was actually said at the time & I believe she was said to have been appointed as being in charge of getting things straightened out at the border, which in fact she never accomplished. Either way, she failed to get anything worthwhile done at the border & she had lots of time to try.

So true. no concern for hostages, all about the Michigan vote, appease the left and it wouldn’t surprise me that Obama whispered into her ear, here’s what I expect and you do this then I’ll endorse...

If the “deal” is successfully concluded will all the dead hostages be returned or only some of them?
