Netanyahu irked by "critical" Harris comments - Israeli Officials: Israel Will Not End the Occupation, Blockade and War even if all the hostages are released.
Make no mistake about it: The Occupation Will Never End as long as a DNC or RNC President is in the White House
I can tell you how long the Occupation will continue: it will continue until We The People elect a President who is NOT from the DNC or RNC, who will take executive action to END THE OCCUPATION.
What kind of executive action? Read about it here »»»»
No one or no government is coming to rescue the Palestinian people from another 75 years of US-backed Occupation.
The ONLY WAY the Occupation will end is when a U.S. President enforces U.N. Res. 242 on Israel - either by diplomatic means, threat of force or use of superior military force.
Otherwise, the Occupation will continue for another 75 years.
Netanyahu says Winning, winning, winning is all that matters - eradicate Hamas.
Netanyahu’s own military chief told Netanyahu and the world that Hamas cannot be defeated, cannot be eradicated.
Unfortunately many Americans have been drilled their entire lives with non-stop subversive and overt anti-Palestinian hate, racism and propaganda.
The average voter cannot fathom that Israel has been and remains 100% on the wrong side of the law and humanity for 75 years, while Palestinians have a lawful, legal right to form armed resistance groups who are duly authorized by int’l law to kill Israelis on Palestinian land and fight for Palestinian freedom from 75 years of US-backed Israeli Occupation, mass murder and mass imprisonment of millions of Palestinians.
Because a state military is unlawfully occupying a civilian population, int’l law and the Geneva Conventions authorize civilian populations to form armed resistance groups to use any means necessary to evict the illegal Occupying Power.
You will never hear CNN, MSNBC or FOXNEWS describe the legal rights of the Palestinian people in that manner, or in any manner at all.
You will never hear a single US Ziomedia pundit talk about Palestinians’ legal right to be free of Occupation and Palestinians’ legal right to use any means necessary, including deadly force of any kind, against the illegal Occupying Power Israel.
Kamala is always happy and bubbling, but not when she meets with Netanyahu.
Unfortunately Kamala doesn’t have what it takes to stand up to Zionist bullies, whether from Israel or in her circle - Kamala can’t JUST SAY NO to funding arming Israel indefinitely - just like every other DNC or RNC President.
Netanyahu irked by "critical" Harris comments
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was upset by Vice President Kamala Harris' on-camera statement after their meeting and is concerned it will harm the negotiations over a Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal, an Israeli official said in a briefing with reporters.
Why it matters: Harris' meeting with Netanyahu took place at a critical moment in negotiations over a possible deal.
This was Harris' first meeting with a foreign leader since she started her presidential campaign.
Driving the news: Netanyahu met with Harris after spending almost three hours with President Biden discussing the Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal.
The two leaders met with the families of eight U.S. hostages held in Gaza. The families said they were more optimistic after the meeting about the chance for the deal to move forward soon.
After a 40 minute meeting with Netanyahu, Harris' gave an on-camera statement and said she pressed the Israeli Prime Minister to conclude a hostage and ceasefire deal.
"It is time for this war to end in a way where Israel is secure, all the hostages are released, the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza ends and the Palestinian people can exercise their right to freedom, dignity and self determination," she said.
"And as I just told Prime Minister Netanyahu it is time to get this deal done. Let's get the deal done. So we can get a ceasefire to end the war. Let's bring the hostages home. And let's provide much needed relief to the Palestinian people."
In her remarks Harris expressed commitment for Israel's security, but at the same time spoke about the suffering in Gaza, the mass civilian casualties and the humanitarian crisis.
Behind the scenes: Two Israeli officials said Netanyahu's meeting with Biden was much more constructive than his meeting with Harris, but stressed the meeting with the vice president wasn't tense or difficult.
The Israeli officials said Netanyahu and his team were caught off guard by Harris' on-camera statement and taken aback by its tone, which they said sounded much more critical than Biden's.
"Harris' statement after the meeting was much more critical than what she told Netanyahu in the meeting," one Israeli official claimed.
Between the lines: The Israeli official said Netanyahu was upset about the fact that Harris spoke about the hostage and ceasefire deal as an end to the war, while Israel maintains its position that it will be able to resume the fighting after the deal is implemented.
The Israeli official also said Netanyahu was unhappy with the fact that Harris criticized Israel publicly for the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and for killing civilians, especially at the current timing amid the hostage deal negotiations.
Yes, but: In her remarks Harris didn't say say Israel should just end the war unconditionally.
She added two conditions: Security for Israel and release of all hostages.
Her comments about the humanitarian situation in Gaza and the civilian casualties were in line with previous remarks by her and other Biden administration officials.
What they're saying: "When our enemies see the U.S. and Israel are aligned it increases the chances for a hostage deal and decreases the chances for a regional escalation," the Israeli official said.
