Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said Sunday he believes former President Trump will be similar to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he is reelected. “To those people who are saying, ‘well, I can’t support Harris because she disagrees [with] Trump on that issue’ … he will be closer to Netanyahu,” Sanders said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” Sanders said he thinks Vice President Harris can be moved “on that issue” of the Israel-Hamas war. Harris has called for a cease-fire deal and pushed for the war in Gaza to end, but she faces scrutiny from both sides — from...

Iran has made enormous progress in its nuclear weapons program during the Biden/Harris administration and reportedly can now enrich enough weapons-grade uranium to fuel nine nuclear bombs in one month. Although Iran may be nine months to a year away from having an operational nuclear weapon, recent attacks by Iran and Israel against each other’s territory have raised concerns that Iran’s rapidly advancing nuclear program could lead to a nuclear war in the Middle East.Biden/Harris administration officials have tried to blame President Trump for the advances in Iran’s nuclear program because he withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran,...

Iranian operatives in the US fund and fuel hate on campus and spread propaganda across the country — and even get face time with friendly American elected officials, according to an alarming new report on extremism by George Washington University researchers. In one of the report’s concerning images, Vice President Kamala Harris is seen happily mingling with an imam at the center of the murderous regime’s influence campaign. An Iranian-born cleric who served as head of the Iranian Navy’s political-ideological office during the 1980s, Imam Mohammad Ali Elahi has deep, decades-long ties to his homeland, and has praised the Islamic...

US Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris spoke to Jewish supporters on Friday ahead of Yom Kippur, and vowed that she would never allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons. “Iran is a destabilizing and dangerous force. When Donald Trump was president, he let Iran off the hook,” claimed Harris, who accused Trump of pulling the US out of the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran “without any plan, leading to an unconstrained Iranian nuclear program.” “Make no mistake: As President, I will never hesitate to take whatever action is necessary to defend American forces and interests from Iran, and...

Is a longtime Kamala friend part of a Hamas family? “I say this as someone who’s known her since 1997: She’s trying,” Hala Hijazi assured a panel at an anti-Israel DNC event that once she was president, Kamala would crack down on Israel.Hijazi, a Jordanian immigrant who has roots in Gaza, is close to Kamala and they both came up through the ranks together.

US Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris said on Thursday that de-escalation was needed in the Middle East, Reuters reported. "We have got to reach a ceasefire," Harris told reporters as she departed Las Vegas, while commenting on the situations in Gaza and Lebanon. "We've got to de-escalate.”

Vice President Kamala Harris was roasted on social media for a comment on Israel and how she "can’t make any sense at all" in a new viral clip. Harris gave a rare sit-down interview on CBS’ "60 Minutes" Sunday, where Bill Whitaker asked whether the U.S. has any "sway" over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the war against Hamas continues. Monday marks one year since the brutal terrorist attack on Israel that sparked the war in Gaza. "The aid that we have given Israel allowed Israel to defend itself against 200 ballistic missiles that were just meant to attack...

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris used exactly the same language in a portion of their statements marking the first anniversary of the October 7 terror attacks as they called for an end to war in Lebanon. Hamas terrorists attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, killing roughly 1200 people, including dozens of Americans. The Iran-backed terror group also took over 250 hostages; four Americans remain among the living hostages in Gaza. Both Biden and Harris’s statements expressed horror at the attacks, solidarity with the victims, and hopes for the return of the hostages. Both supported Israel’s right to...

That Kamala Harris. She's sure got a lot of "values." We're all familiar with her paradoxical claim that despite having flip-flopped on many positions—including her previous adamant desire to ban fracking and decriminalize illegal border crossings—her "values haven't changed." Appearing on Sunday's CNN State of the Union, Harris surrogate Mark Kelly, a Dem senator from Arizona, professed Kamala's allegiance to the "values" of two disparate electoral groups. Discussing Harris' poor polling among Latino voters in Arizona, Kelly told host Dana Bash that "Harrison-Walz are committed to their values." Earlier in the show, Bash mentioned that Kelly was speaking from Dearborn,...

Vice President Kamala Harris issued a statement Monday in commemoration of the October 7, 2023, terror attack on Israel, expressing sympathy for the victims but adding that she would “always fight for the Palestinian people.” Harris’s message continues a pattern of equivocation by the Biden administration — showing solidarity with Israel against terrorism, but also showing solidarity with the Palestinian cause in whose name the terror was committed. While describing the October 7 attack in graphic terms, and calling for the release of the remaining hostages, Harris also added that she was “heartbroken over the scale of death and destruction...

In her first solo and unscripted interview since succeeding Joe Biden atop the Democratic Party, Vice President Kamala Harris touted the Biden administration’s decision to pause the delivery of certain munitions to Israel as the country continues its 11-month war with Hamas in Gaza. Speaking at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) conference in Philadelphia on Tuesday, Harris pointed to the suspension of 2,000-pound bombs as a key move by the White House to push Israel toward a ceasefire. “One of the things that we’ve done that I’m entirely supportive of is the pause that we put on the...

The Biden-Harris administration said Tuesday that it opposed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plan to hold onto the Gaza-Egypt border — known as the Philadelphi Corridor — to ensure weapons cannot be smuggled into Gaza. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said in a briefing with reporters on Tuesday that the U.S. opposed any long-term Israeli presence in Gaza. He also said that Israel had agreed to a U.S. “bridging” proposal last month that would have required the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to withdraw from “densely populated areas,” which Miller said “includes the Philadelphi Corridor.”

On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” Israel’s Ambassador to the U.N. Danny Danon responded to President Joe Biden criticizing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by alleging Netanyahu hasn’t done enough to get a ceasefire by stating that “we expect our ally, the U.S., to say, very clearly, Hamas is to be blamed for the fact we don’t have a deal today” in the wake of Hamas killing multiple Israeli hostages and an American hostage. Danon said, “[I]t’s very simple, the blame is on Hamas, period. You cannot blame Netanyahu or the Israelis. Hamas always say[s]...

Vice President Harris told protesters who interrupted her campaign rally in Phoenix that the time is now for a cease-fire deal to get done in the war between Israel and Gaza. A group of pro-Palestinian demonstrators shouted out “free, free Palestine” during Harris’s Arizona event, the second time this week she has been interrupted by individuals upset about the war in Gaza. “Hold on. Here’s the thing: we are all in here together. I’m told an extraordinary number of folks who are here together because we love our country,” Harris said. “We’re here to fight for our democracy, which includes...
