**Philadelphia, PA** – Vice President Kamala Harris, a Democratic presidential candidate, called for an immediate ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza on Tuesday, emphasizing the need for a two-state solution and Middle East stability.
Speaking at the National Association of Black Journalists convention, Harris stressed the importance of ensuring a peaceful resolution that does not strengthen Iran’s influence in the region. “We’ve made ourselves very clear, this deal needs to get done in the best interest of everyone in the region,” she stated.
Furthermore, Harris warned against Israel reoccupying the Gaza Strip once the conflict concludes, underscoring the need for a lasting solution that respects the Palestinian people’s rights.
Her remarks come amidst ongoing tensions between Israel and Hamas, with the conflict entering its tenth month.
The Vice President’s call for a ceasefire and a two-state solution aligns with the Biden administration’s diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the situation. However, the path towards a lasting peace remains uncertain, with both sides expressing deep mistrust and differing views on the way forward.
