Over the weekend, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris warned against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu invading Rafah. She spoke to Rachel Scott of ABC News.
Vice President Kamala Harris: “We have been clear in multiple conversations and in every way that any major military operation in Rafah would be a huge mistake.”
Rachel Scott: “A mistake, but would there be consequences if he does move forward?”
Vice President Kamala Harris: “Well, we’re going to take it one step at a time, but we’ve been very clear in terms of our perspective on whether or not that should happen.”
Rachel Scott: “Are you ruling out that there would be consequences from the United States?”
Vice President Kamala Harris: “I am ruling out nothing.”
This comes as Israel continues to carry out attacks across Gaza, where the death toll has topped 32,200. This is a Palestinian man named Younis Kassab in Rafah.
Younis Kassab: “Israel does not want a ceasefire. Instead, it wants to continue exterminating the Palestinian people. This is what Israel and America are planning simultaneously. They do not want a ceasefire. … Israel seeks genocide against the Palestinian people, and particularly the Gaza Strip. And this is a crime.”
