Former U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris has criticized both the Biden and Trump administrations for failing to exert sufficient pressure on Israel regarding its military operations in Gaza. Speaking at the Asan Institute for Policy Studies in Seoul, South Korea, Harris stated that Washington should have utilized its influence earlier and more forcefully to curb Israel's actions.
"We have recently seen the failure to leverage our pressure points to restrain the horrific conduct of the Israeli government in the war in Gaza," Harris said. She specifically criticized the current administration for giving Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a "blank check" and her own previous administration for not acting sooner or with greater determination.
Harris's remarks come amid speculation about her potential presidential aspirations for 2028, following her loss to Trump in the 2024 election. Previously, in April, Harris had attacked Trump at a political event in Detroit, alleging that Netanyahu had "dragged" Trump into a war with Iran that the American public did not want. She claimed this confrontation risked American soldiers' lives and harmed the economy.
Harris further described Trump's administration as "corrupt, ruthless, and incompetent" and suggested his actions, including the Iran strike, were a "pathetic attempt to distract from the Epstein documents." She asserted that Trump intended to use the U.S. military against anyone he chose.
