Harris calls for cease-fire deal, says Israel must be able to defend itself
Harris, like Biden before her, is trying to balance support for Israel's security with condemnation of the violence in Gaza.
She said she and Biden are working around the clock for a hostage and cease-fire deal.
"I will always stand up for Israel's right to defend itself because the people of Israel must never again face the horror that a terrorist organization called Hamas calls on Oct. 7," she said. "At the same time, what has happened in Gaza over the past 10 months is devastating so many innocent lives lost."
