    Harris Doesn’t Support Arms Embargo on Israel, a Top Adviser Says

    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.
