Harris Calls for ‘Immediate Cease-Fire,’ Urging Hamas to Agree

[Kaatje]

In her most forceful comments to date, the vice president called on Hamas to agree to a six-week pause currently on the table, and Israel to increase the flow of aid into Gaza “given the immense scale of suffering.”

Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday called for an “immediate cease-fire” in Gaza, saying that Hamas should agree to the six-week pause currently on the table and that Israel should increase the flow of aid into the besieged enclave amid a humanitarian crisis.

Ms. Harris’s remarks, delivered in Selma, Ala., bolstered a recent push by President Joe Biden for an agreement and came a day before she was to meet with a top Israeli cabinet official involved in war planning, Benny Gantz. Her tone echoed a sharper and more urgent tone coming from the White House as its frustration with Israel grows. Last month, the president called Israel’s response to the Oct. 7 Hamas-led attack “over the top.”

Ms. Harris assailed the dire conditions in Gaza, calling the situation a “humanitarian catastrophe.” It was her most forceful assessment to date of the Middle East conflict, which has killed more than 30,000 Palestinians, according to Gazan health authorities, and put the enclave on the brink of famine.

Fools errant.
Hamas doesn't take orders from a woman. Not even when she says it with "force".
And when they don't, will Biden throw her under the bus for her efforts?
Win-win for the big guy.

You sound skeptical

You sound skeptical

Yeah.
Step 1 is already completed. Hamas refused Kamala's kackle.
Waiting at the busstop for step 2....

She probably had to deliver the speech cause Joe was still stuck trying to figure out how to exit the last stage he was on

She is an embarrassment. I wonder how Israel and the terrorists in Gaza feel about listening to someone that speaks to her audience like a pre-school teacher speaks to students? She is an embarrassment.

My hope is that soon there isn't enough of hamas to negotiate anything other than a complete surrender.

The WH official walk back is that Harris called on Hamas to agree to a ceasefire. Some audio clips were clear that she called on Israel to cease fire, and provide more supplies for Gazans. As I listened to her, she was disregarding Hamas firing on Israel and robbing Gazans of supplies. (I can barely stand to hear her voice.)

Israel will eventually bring in Sinwar when he stops hiding behind the remaining hostages. Then this phase will end and Israel will pivot it's attention toward Nasrallah! I can not see anymore cease fires happening.

Is it me, or does she seem even more incompetent than before?

@RonJohnSilver-- I love your Burma Shave signs, brother! Hilarious. And bang on target. Just like the originals.

Western woman of the current day tells Eastern man who's been dug in like an ancient tick since the jump what to do. I'm sure the East will oblige. I'd love to see a global debate on why X vs Y is right. It'd be fun watching any of them try to justify any of it from a secular starting point. They never bother having that discussion, they merely assert that they are fair, brave, and true. Weaksauce.

These definitely need to continue and possibly spread to other threads.
Excellent commentary, and true talent.

She is desperate the election is coming up so she is speaking more which is a shame. I also heard she went to an abortion clinic trying to rev up the votes for her party.
