Speaking in Seoul, South Korea, former Vice President Kamala Harris criticized both the current Biden administration and the previous Trump administration for failing to sufficiently use U.S. leverage to curtail Israel's military actions in Gaza. Harris asserted that the U.S. should have acted 'sooner and more forcefully' and accused the Biden administration of providing a 'blank check' to Prime Minister Netanyahu. Her comments drew sharp criticism from the Republican Jewish Coalition and a former campaign staffer.
