Kamala Harris Skips Netanyahu's Congressional Address
Vice President Kamala Harris is facing criticism for boycotting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's joint address to Congress, choosing instead to campaign in Indiana. House Republicans, including Speaker Mike Johnson and Majority Leader Steve Scalise, accused her of abandoning a crucial ally during a critical time, while Harris's spokesperson cited a prior commitment. Several Democratic lawmakers are also boycotting the speech due to concerns over Netanyahu's actions in the Gaza war and his contentious relationship with President Biden. In her absence, Senator Ben Cardin will preside over the session, as Senate President Patty Murray has also declined to attend. As Harris seeks the Democratic presidential nomination, her handling of the Israel-Palestine issue remains under scrutiny, particularly after Biden's withdrawal from the race. J Street, a pro-Israel organization, endorsed Harris, emphasizing her nuanced approach to the conflict and support for Palestinian civilians amidst the ongoing crisis.
