Vice President Kamala Harris is a “firm” friend of Israel, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said on Thursday (25).
“I can say with certainty, because I have been in the room with her, in my two and a half years here in the White House, that Vice President Kamala Harris shares President Biden’s unwavering commitment to the nation of Israel, to the security of the Israeli people. , to ensure that Israel can defend itself against attacks like those suffered on October 7th. She has been a complete partner,” Kirby said.
However, he did not say whether she would consider herself a Zionist, similar to how President Joe Biden has described himself.
“I will not speak for the vice president in this level of detail, but I can say that I have seen her at work: she absolutely believes in every facet of a free, safe and independent Israel, in the nation of Israel and in the safety and security of the Israeli people. And she has worked harder than anyone else to make sure that, as a team, we live up to our commitments to our neighbors and our allies, our friends in Israel,” he told CNN.
