Former Vice President Kamala Harris said on Wednesday in Seoul, at the Asan Institute for Policy Studies, that the United States fell short of its moral obligation to human rights and international law in the Gaza war. Harris said Washington should have used its leverage to curb Israel’s military campaign sooner and more forcefully, under the Biden administration and the current one. Harris also said the current administration offers Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a blank check. The Republican Jewish Coalition called her remarks unsurprising, citing her absence from Netanyahu’s 2024 address to Congress and her opposition to anti-boycott legislation.
