A Harris victory could be a better choice for Palestine
A victory for Vice President Harris could be a better choice for Palestine, proactive in implementing US policy based on the principle of a two-state solution.
According to RIA Novosti, the permanent observer of Palestine to the United Nations, Riyad Mansour, said that the victory of Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in the US presidential election could be a better choice for Palestine, compared to the return of Republican candidate Donald Trump to the White House.
Observer Mansour noted that former President Trump did many things during his time in office that were harmful to the “Palestinian cause,” such as moving the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jurusalem.
"There is another candidate, Kamala Harris... we hope that perhaps if she wins, she will be more sensitive to the global picture and play a very strong, active role in implementing US policy based on the principle of the two-state solution," Mansour said at a press conference at the United Nations on November 1.
According to Reuters, Vice President Harris has recently become increasingly critical of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for failing to protect Palestinian civilians in Gaza. Ms. Harris has expressed more sympathy for the Palestinian people, but has not proposed any significant changes in the policy of the Joe Biden administration.
As Election Day approaches, conflicting ads have been released. One ad highlights the message: "Kamala Harris is pro-Israel," while another claims that the US Vice President "is campaigning for Palestine but won't admit it." The campaign is said to be aimed at deepening divisions over Vice President Harris' stance on Israel. It is also seen as designed to incite divisions among the American public over the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon, while also exploiting ethnic and religious tensions in American society.
