There was an anonymous aide who said something, then National Security Advisor to the VP said they wouldn’t do a full embargo that would leave an opening for Iran to attack.
But they also said Biden wasn’t stepping aside for any reason right up until the second Biden stepped down.
That article I linked is a good read, there’s a lot of pressure from within the party for an embargo. And both Harris and Wall’s are open to discussions, and have already been having them.
They’re not perfect, but they’re open to a dialog. It’s a huge improvement from Biden.
They could still drastically limit what types of weapons get “sold” to Israel and what quantities.
Put it on Israel:
Save these for defense or use them for a genocide, but we’re not just giving you everything you ask for.
If Bibi uses them for genocide and leaves Israel open to an attack from an actual country with a functional government and military, that’s probably the fastest way to get Bibi out of power. There’s already been huge protests in Israel for months calling for him to step down. And he’s delaying an election he’s almost guaranteed to lose.
It just doesn’t take as much as you seem to think to end this.
Vice President Kamala Harris’s national security adviser said on Thursday that she did not support an arms embargo on Israel, laying out one of her first firm policy positions since becoming the Democratic nominee on how she would approach the war in Gaza.
The adviser, Phil Gordon, said on social media on Thursday morning that Ms. Harris would “always ensure Israel is able to defend itself against Iran and Iran-backed terrorist groups.” He added: “She does not support an arms embargo on Israel. She will continue to work to protect civilians in Gaza and to uphold international humanitarian law.”
The article you linked has great language but effectively means absolutely nothing. Empty words are the same thing we’ve heard from Biden the last 10 months.
Pretty sure that was one of Biden’s aides that said she wouldn’t?
But there’s a lot of room between the current situation and “full weapons embargo” for improvement
No the top Kamala aide said it. No weapons embargo means there’s no chance of any embargo.
There’s a weird thing going on where any negative news about Kamala is said by an aide instead of Kamala.
Her track record is consistent with support for the Genocide as well. Especially this 2019 article explains a lot
I googled it
