"VP Harris Urges Immediate Cease-Fire in Gaza Conflict"
US Vice President Kamala Harris has called for an "immediate" ceasefire in Gaza and criticized Israel for not doing enough to allow the delivery of aid, including opening new border crossings and committing not to impose "unnecessary restrictions." She also challenged Hamas to accept a ceasefire deal that US officials say has been broadly accepted by Israel, and addressed the recent incident in which more than 100 Palestinians were killed while trying to access food aid in Gaza City. Harris's comments come amid mounting pressure on President Biden's support for Israel ahead of the November election, particularly in battleground states like Michigan with significant Muslim populations.
